American Dream by Sons Of New York
This is singer songwriter Roger Campo's third album but first under the band name Sons Of New York. The music is a modern blend of Americana, Roots Rock and Soul, fused with contemporary and relevant lyrics. The album was produced by Bill Lefler, who has produced Ingrid Michaelson, Cary Brothers, Matthew Mayfield and Peter Katz, to name a few. The entire album was recorded at Lefler’s Los Angeles studio, utilizing some of L.A.’s most talented musicians, including Philip Krohnengold (piano and organ) and Daniel Rhine (bass) from Sara Bareilles’s Band and Dave Eggar on strings. That cello solo at the beginning of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida is Dave.
