It's been a long time coming, but the fourth official Booze Monkey album (second studio album) is coming soon!
The full release, CD with included drink recipes, is planned for release on Tuesday 8 April 2008!
I'm very proud of this album. It sounds more like what I "hear in my head" than any record I've ever made. For better or worse I think this is where my music has been headed all along. It features me at the height of my skills as a musician, writer, arranger, producer and engineer. It took a great many years, a great many recordings and a great deal of work to get to where I am now. For those of you who might enjoy this record, I am more than a little pleased to share it with you. For those who don't, well, let's just say that I feel less bad about it than ever before.
I am giving these recordings away freely because I want them to be heard. Hopefully those of you who find them to be a source of pleasure and entertainment will consider purchasing a copy of the CD version when it is released. I am working to make the package worth the investment with a couple of extra songs (featuring some oustanding guest musicians) and, of course, another batch of Cocktail recipes that I think are worth the price in their own right.
If you are interested, please give them a listen. I sincerely hope that you consider the effort worthy of your time.
This album is scheduled to contain ten songs and eight of them are available here for FREE DOWNLOAD in the mp3 format!
Please note that this is a "gapless album". Several of the songs flow from one, directly into the other.
The song titles link directly to the mp3s. Simply Right-click-save-target or command-click-save-link to download each recording to your computer and listen at your leisure.
These preview versions of the songs are being given away without charge. You may share them freely with others. You may not charge for their sale. If you dig the music, please consider purchasing a copy of the CD upon its release on 8 April 2008. I am an entirely independent artist (I made these recordings in my basement). CD sales allow me to continue making records.
I hope you dig 'em!
