Spellbound by Saklad
+++ Bonus trk~11/22/17 mix- Christmas On The Block ©Alan Mann [rip '88] of whom I had the honor working with in his Free Arts Band '76 thru '79. Kweder- bl harp, & Saklad gkids vox
1) * All of a Sudden 6/26~ Blues-rock romp rooted in boogie-woogie ala Leon Russell + B3 organ! About the moment each of us recognizes something’s changed in a relationship- you have to see them ASAP!
2) * Leap O' Faith 6/16/16~ mellow/haunting- awakened in the stormy night, searching for hope, lone synth flute echoes...
3) ** Spellbound~ 6/6/16 mix! co-write, alt-funk w/ dance beats (breaks new ground musically) “keep me Spellbound” crux of this collection
4) ** You Said My Name 6/25- lyrics Kim De Meo~ a modern styled blues rocker w/ attitude & crunchy guitars- how everything's changed "since you said my name like a sweet benediction"...
5) ** Up On The Bluffs 9/20/16- lyrics De Meo~ inspired by Winfield, a timeless, old soul islander resort doorman, full of dignity & grace, twinkle in his eye, offers to take our photo then shares his special gift- a small bottle of coral pink sand, and many stories…
6) + Under the Milky Way Tonight 7/1- Kim De Meo lead vocal~ covers The Church (based on our live arrangement) *no longer avail due to new rules
7) * Oh Philadelphia 6/26~ new version of a favorite, between rhythmic piano & amped guitar hook, use of swing elements w/ straight time, it bids a nod to R & R origins, & current!
8) * Don't You See? 6/30 mix~ guitar driven melodic rock, tinkling piano- lying awake, reminded how "all I ever wanted lay hidden right in front of me" and to share what's inside us...
9) ++ Knockin On Heaven's Door 6/26~ Kim De Meo leads this classic rock w/ an alt-folk-modern style while melodic guitar sings in reply... *no longer avail due to new rules
10) * What If?! 7/2 ~ rhythm & crunch- posing the age old question, What If all our perceived reality wasn’t at all what it appears? taken a step further, how it might even change our world…
~ news: Metaphor album out~ more exciting, fresh, ahead of the wave writing & recording: where I'm heading, looking forward... stay tuned
