BRIAN WOODBURY: Levity & Novelty

Aug 142022

First Volume of a 4-Volume Magnum Opus – with 80+ songs of Levity, Balladry, Ideology & Rhapsody Over the next year Brian will be releasing a linked set of CDs in 4 Volumes, two years in the making, each in a very different register – a songwriting masterclass if he can pull it off and, on past form, I believe he can: the man studied with Tom Lehrer, after all, and his work to date has grown ever better: seriously great songs, sharp lyrics, impressive musicians. His four seasons will be: 1) Funny. 2) Heartfelt. 3) Political and 4) Arty. You’ll get a new instalment every 3 months. More specifically, Brian works in Hollywood (Disney cartoons, television, theatre) and on the Hollywood art fringe…thing like these releases what hyper-talented people do to stay sane…The musicians here are all, you know, quite good at what they do – and the orchestrations they’re given, trust me, run the full gamut. So, a major undertaking by serious professionals who work for love on things they love – extra collaborators include Van Dyke Parks, Joe Moe, David Yazbek, Jill Sobule & Terri Roche Nathan Lane & Lisa Loeb, Elma Mayer, Marc Doten, Kimara Sajn (not all household names in our neck of the woods but they should be, google will elucidate). Even I get a walk on part. Obligatory legitimation references must include: “Not since… the wondrous works of young Brian Wilson… have I heard sound of this romantic design. Indispensable.” Van Dyke Parks’; ”..a multi-talented musician, bordering on genius. …he should be up there with Zappa and Beefheart.” BBC Radio 3, Mixing It. He studied with Bernard Rands, Pauline Olivieros and Tom Lehrer…DOWNLOAD WHOLE ALBUM: MP3 – £6.99 FLAC – £9.99 File Type : Buy album as CD (£12.50 POST FREE)		TRACK PRICE: MP3: £0.70p\|FLAC: £1.00
