"Poignant fun." --Rolling Stone
 Following
up his critically acclaimed book, SONGS IN THE KEY OF Z: THE
CURIOUS UNIVERSE OF OUTSIDER MUSIC and a same-title companion CD, author
and producer Irwin Chusid presents a second CD compilation of
ear-opening "outréphonics." These 17 artists
showcase a colorful array of genres, styles and techniques --
but each is authentic, sincere, passionate, and possessed of
a singular identity.
From the
unshakeable patriotism of B.J. Snowden's "America,"
to Señor Luie Luie's 14-trumpet opus "Touch of Light";
from Bob Vido's one-man-Shaggs "High Speed" blowout,
to Alvin Dahn's Van Halen-spiked "You're Driving Me Mad";
from Buddy Max's nakedly confessional "Birthmark Story,"
to Congress-Woman Malinda Jackson Parker's 7-minute, freewheeling
"Cousin Mosquito #2" (vastly different from #1 heard
on Key of Z, Vol. 1) -- this is REAL MUSIC. If all you hear are
imperfections, your ears are on wrong.
