Happy Halloween! Boo!

Clockwise: Mike Furey, Casey Stratton, Sir Ari Gold, and Kendall Kelly.

Today is October 31, 2014. That makes it officially Halloween, a day that was first celebrated in the mid-1700s. It was also known as All Hallow's Eve and All Saint's Eve, marking the evening before All Saint's Day.It is thought to have Celtic roots, and is based on some forms of Christianity. Today, it is mostly known as a chance to dress up in costumes of every variety, no matter your age. Whether you are trying to scare people, or making them laugh, it is a day celebrated by many. To get us in the mood a bit, I thought I would post some Halloween-themed music, or at least some that could be. The first song is a remake of a 1984 single from Ministry, an American Industrial Metal band. It was covered in 2006 by the Electronic Rock project based in New York City. Vocalist Mike Furey is the man behind the artistic direction of the band. This is Dangerous Muse with "Everyday Is Halloween".

You can find "Everyday Is Halloween" on iTunes and Amazon. My next song isn't really a Halloween song, but it works, at least for me. There is something hot, and sexy about "Blood" a great song off Casey's first album, 'Standing on the Edge'. It was the first song by Casey I really fell for, and I have been hooked ever since. This is Casey Stratton performing "Blood" on morning television, and managing to look and sound pretty damn great!

You can find "Blood" on 'Blood EP (Junior Vasquez Mix)', available on iTunes and Amazon. The gloriously bearish Kendall Kelly has been making music for a while now, and garnering quite the fanbase. It seems many respond well to his mixture of humorous songs with romantic ballads. The driving Electro-Dance beat keeps me moving, while the sexy images of Kendall keeps the attention of anyone who hits play. And before I delay you too much longer, perhaps you should be hitting the play button for Kendall Kelly's "Don't Even Know You're A Vampire".

You can find "Don't Know You're A Vampire" off the album 'Manifest Destiny', available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon. And speaking of vampires, I don't know if there is anyone I'd rather have nibbling my neck, and wherever else they'd like, than the gorgeous and talented Sir Ari Gold. That was certainly much on my mind in October of 2010, when he released the music video for "Make My Body Rock", on of the several great songs off his album 'Between the Spirit & the Flesh'. OF course, I must admit I have been a fan of Gold's music since I first heard "Wave of You" several years ago, and that was even before I'd see how sexy he is! Fast forward several years, and Ari is still looking as good, if not better than ever. Check out the music video for Sir Ari Gold's "Make My Body Rock".

You can find "Make My Body Rock" on Gold's 2012 album, 'Between the Spirit & the Flesh', available on iTunes and Amazon. And have a wonderful and scary Halloween!

Casey Stratton • Sea Into Sky

I am a big fan of Casey Stratton and his music. I first got to know Casey on Twitter, and actually asked what album I should buy first to get to know his music. Now, several years and many albums later, I realize that was a silly question, for I now have several in my collection, and love them all. They all have an intrinsic musicality that is distinctly Casey, the music filling the senses in an awesome way. So I couldn't wait to buy 'Sea Into Sky' and hear what Casey had to offer this time out.

The album eases in with the reedy start of "Beneath the Waves", with drums added just before the ambient vocals start in. There is a mystical quality, almost a Celtic feel to the track. But as always, Stratton's vocals are both perfect and evocative. That track is followed by "Love is Love", a gorgeous song that almost took my breath away on the first hearing this romantic song. But rather than me typing, how about you listen to it instead?

From the opening bars of "Mountain", the emotions are almost palpable. There is a richness in the music that is matched by the vocals. The chorus slows it up a bit, but the verse seems to bring it back to the heart. With the ethereal opening of "Luna", we know Casey is changing it up once again. This is more like a classic lament, with a hurt being vocally expressed, touching my heart. Then he switches it up again on "Nightingales", which has a Folk feel. Check it out for yourself...

With the simple beating of a drum, "Grace" comes into focus with a very intimate tone. This is a beautiful expression of how a new life can bring something so special to your journey, a bit of grace. "Mirrors" starts off with the feel of an ancient chant, but soon the drums bring it to today, yet still maintaining that chant, the affirmation we repeat to ourselves. With the first few strokes on the piano, we know "Glow" will be something different. There is a timeless feel, an intimate moment between songwriter and audience of honest expression. There is such beauty in this song, I just love it. From the moment it begins, "Open Into Light" feels like a century-old chorale selection, but almost two minutes into it, Casey again changes things up, offering a textural updating that feels both tribal and exotic, all at once. There is a darkness that hangs with the start of "Cimmerian Darkness", both in mood and lyrical content. Listen and see if you like it as much as I do.

With a chorus of voices paired with percussion that feels random, "Distant Call" jars my senses, but rather than leaving me behind, it pulls me with it, and soon wins me over. There is something organic in both the beats and the vocals that come together in the most delicious of ways. From the beginning of "In The Sky", there is a wonderful lightness that lifts the soul. Yet that defies the lyrical side of the song, that deals with the aching feelings of loss. But the balance of the light and weight allows the song to float so beautifully. And that is the end of the album. With that, Casey has escorted us across his aural landscape, from sea to the sky. This is a journey that Stratton has asked us to join him on. And it is one I and so pleased to travel again and again. 'Sea Into Sky' can be purchased from iTunes, Amazon, CD Baby, and Casey's Online Store.

Friday Mix-Up

Clockwise: Casey Stratton; B.Slade; Angelo; and Matt Alber

It is Friday, the first official day of the weekend, so I thought I would post some fun remixes of great songs by artists I truly respect. A couple of these picks are surprising nuggets, while others are bound to get you shakin' your booty, which is never a bad thing. I picked these four songs and artists to show what a wonderful array of music is being made by gay men. All four songs are very different, and the same could be said about the artists. I will begin with one of those 'surprises', Casey Stratton. While it might be unexpected from people who are more used to Casey's more emotive/expressive music, I will admit I have a collection of remixes, which kinda inspired this post. I am absolutely crazy for Casey's "Opaline (Clandestine Mix)", which appears on his 'Altered States: Remixes Volume One' album.

You can find 'Altered States Remixes Volume One" in Casey's official Online Store. There are plenty of other great songs for you to enjoy. Next up, I decided to go with Los Angeles-based B.Slade with a great track from his 'Deep Purple' album. I find there is something so subtle and sweet about "2 GET 2 (Hookah Lounge Mix)", yet at the same time it has a sexy feel, too. The song can be found on the 2012 album, 'Deep Purple', which quickly became a favorite of mine.

You can purchase 'Deep Purple' on B.Slade's BandCamp page, iTunes, or Amazon. For the next song, I thought I would through in another artist you might not traditionally associate with Dance music. Singer/songwriter came to the attention of many when he released his first music video, "End of the World", in 2009. The song is beautiful and expansive, part Chamber music, and part Pop Icon. The song was featured on the album 'Hide Nothing', an enchanting collection. Last year, he released 'Constant Crows', a much more personal, intimate collection. But he also worked on a couple of song with Saul Ruiz, both updates of some great classic songs. One of those was the Fleetwood Mac song "Dreams", written by Stevie Nicks. Ruiz gave it a new feel with the mix, and used the strength of Alber's voice perfectly. Enjoy listening to Saul Ruiz featuring Matt Alber on "Dreams (Original Mix)".

You can purchase Saul Ruiz's "Dreams (Original Mix)" featuring Matt Alber on iTunes or Amazon. Last year, the handsome and talented Angelo released a great new album, 'Narcissus Drowned'. One of the songs featured on the album was released in 2011 as a single, with several remixes available. There is so much strength and power on Angelo's "Hands Down (Famuel Remix)", I found it irresistible. It gets me up and on my feet every time I hit play, smiling and moving in the Studio 54 in my head.

You can purchase Angelo's "Hands Down (Famuel Remix)" on iTunes or Amazon. You can also purchase 'Narcissus Drowned' on iTunes, Amazon, and CD Baby.

Casey Stratton • Auld Lang Syne

Photograph by Terry Johnston - Website

Well, it wouldn't be New Year's Eve without someone singing the words written by Scottish poet Robert Burns in 1788, and later set to the tune of a traditional Folk song. This year, I am featuring another artist well-known by those who follow the blog, Michigan-based singer/songwriter Casey Stratton. I truly admire Casey's talent, and love listening to his music.That would include his cover of the great favorite, "Auld Lang Syne".



For more about Casey Stratton, visit his official website. You can also find him on Facebook and Twitter. You can find his music in his online store, iTunes, and Amazon.

Sunday Night Jam

Clockwise: Christopher Dallman; Casey Stratton; Chris Garneau; and Daniel Cartier.

While I generally tend to post particular themes, tonight I thought I would be a bit loose with that, and more just posting a couple of songs from singer/songwriters I love, and who I haven't had the opportunity to feature here lately. All four I proudly play on a regular basis, and will continue to do so. They all have a pensive, ethereal quality that really intrigues me. They are also indie musicians, with not a great deal of money to invest in music videos, so there might not be tons of special effects, but the music and talent are more than special enough. I will also add they are all very handsome, something that didn't ever escape me. I will begin with a video by Casey Stratton. The Michigan-based Stratton has a wonderful catalog of music, written from the time he was a student at Interlochen Arts Academy, through his period with Sony Music, to now when he is making the music he loves. This is a video he made for the song "The Dead Sea", written for the 2002 collection The Winter Children, and later featured on the Sony album Standing At The Sea.



For more about Casey Stratton, visit his official website. You can also find his music on iTunes and Amazon. The next singer/songwriter is another favorite of mine. Christopher Dallman has been a regular on my playlist since I purchased his 2004 debut, Race The Light. The is such a personal feeling to his songs, like we are reading his diaries. Dallman took a bit of a break after the album, but has been making some great music once again. Here is the video for "Over My Head", which was featured on the debut.



For more about Christopher Dallman, visit his official website. You can also find his music on iTunes and Amazon. I am not sure exactly when I stumble across the music of our next singer/songwriter. I can tell you that I am damn grateful I did. I think it was about the time of his wonderful 2004 album, Revival. It was before his magnificent You And Me Are We, released in 2006. But I have been hook since on his music, which feels like he is reaching down deep and baring his soul with every track. You can tell with a look at his video for "Diving Too Deep", off the album Redemption.



For more about Daniel Cartier, visit his official website. You can also find his music in his online store at the website, or Amazon. The final member of this group is one I think I have somehow managed to not include on this blog yet, as crazy as that sounds. I first encountered his music with the album Music For Tourists. I can best describe Garneau's music as quirky, folksy, and enchanting. I also love his 2009 album El Radio. Tonight I bring to you "Relief", a song off Music For Tourists which has a confessional feel, with truth coming straight from the heart.

Casey Stratton • The Calling of the Crows

Singer/songwriter Casey Stratton has a new album ready for you to hear, and The Calling of the Crows is well-wroth a listen. The 12-song collection is a mature and strong one, and arguably Casey's best effort yet, a high compliment considering how much I love his music. Casey makes his music in Michigan, and continues a long tradition of indie artists who stay true to their muse while making amazing music without the corporate interference of a record label. There is a beauty in Casey's voice, which holds up well to the layered production that flows so beautifully. The album is the product of Casey's talent and emotional expression, for he not only wrote and produced the album, he is also responsible for all the instruments featured. The album kicks off with "The Bitter Truth," a moody opening charged with a beat felt deep in my core. Give a listen for yourself.



About six weeks ago, Casey offered the EP When The Fates Came, featuring the second cut on the album of the same name. Read about that EP here. That is the only song shared by the 6-song EP and this release. "Ghosts In The Walls" offers an urgency in the insistent beat, with a tribal feel. The words carry their own poetry, evoking a dark inner-dialogue worthy of Poe. There is a simplicity in "Second Life" that is both refreshing and rejuvenating. There is something about the beginning to "Tears That Know Your Name" that makes me think Kelly Clarkson could slay this song. There is a depth to "Sacred Tattoo" that really needs to be heard.



The first few bars of "Waiting" has a strong sense of foreboding, quickly surpassed by the urgency of love. On the other hand, "The Roads of Time" has such a feeling of nostalgia, of love and life shared. "Wait by the Water" has the sound of traditional Folk music, with a quality of chanting and storytelling that makes one sit up and listen. "Mile Markers" is a ballad that has the air of confession, with a touch of guilt and confusion. The next track carries a bit of the Celtic tradition, as you might expect from "Elegy". There is an honesty and a frankness brought to life by Casey's brilliant vocals. Finally, there is "Wanderlust". The aching begins with the opening of the track, with the introspective music drawn forward by the driving beat of the drum. Along with these great songs comes a wonderful e-book that features the lyrics, liner notes, and some beautiful images from photographer Terry Johnston. You can purchase The Calling of the Crows directly from Casey on his online store. You can learn more about Terry Johnston at his official website. And for more information about Casey and his music, visit his official website.

Casey Stratton• When The Fates Came

Singer/songwriter Casey Stratton was working on a new album, news I love to hear. While still hard at work, he thought about releasing a single, When The Fates Come. Well, Casey figured out he had a couple of songs to share, so why not off up an EP, featuring two versions of the the single, and four other new tracks, all available now. When The Fates Come EP is a return to Pop for Casey, who had put out an album of traditional folk tracks earlier this year with The Parting Glass. In fact, the first track on the EP is the title track, in a pop arrangement that sounds ready for the radio now. That is followed by a spartan mix of piano and voice that I just love. It really amps up the soulfulness of Casey's voice, fully exploring his range. Check it out here.



Track three is a haunting song, All I Am. It opens with an ethereal sound, showcasing his voice beautifully. Like much of Casey's music, I think of this song as bombastic rock anthems with a twist, like when Freddie Mercury took on the music of Highlander. It is moody and and evocative. Broken Circles returns to the Pop feel, only more intimate. Casey splits his time nicely, sometimes being a painter, while others returning to the more traditional role of storyteller.



A Long Time returns to a simpler, soulful sound, almost confessional. This could be my favorite track on the collection. The final cut on the EP is Claws On Wood. It has a strong free-form prose feel, an observational piece about his cats. This oddly combines the talents of T.S. Elliot and Gertrude Stein into something that is quite beautiful, ethereal and playful, all at once. This is a lovely collection, and one you can pick up for a steal at $5.00. For more about Casey Stratton, visit his official website. You can also find him on Facebook and Twitter. To purchase When The Fates Came, it can be found exclusively at Casey's official store. To read my review of The Parting Glass, click here.

Casey Stratton • The Blackest Crow

Singer/songwriter Casey Stratton released a new music video featuring a song off his latest release. The Parting Glass is a collection of tradition folk songs from around the world, and has moments of spectacular beauty. The new video is for the song The Blackest Crow, a traditional American lamentation. The way Casey's voice fits this song, the way it caresses and holds close the moments it should is pretty damn impressive.



Casey dedicated the song to his dear Henry, a cat he recently lost but was with Casey for many important moments in his life. Perhaps that gave something extra to the song, I am not sure. But I also know I love Casey's music, and it never disappoints. To purchase The Parting Glass, click here.

Casey Stratton • The Parting Glass

Just in time for the holiday weekend, Casey Stratton brings you The Parting Glass, a new album willed with traditional folk music. While it does have an Irish twist - perfect for your St Patrick's Day party, it also has that timeless quality of great songs passed down through the ages. It was just released yesterday, and has no video, but I did find a clip of Casey singing a song that is NOT on the album, but in the same vein, Danny Boy.



The album includes favorites like Scarborough Fair and Wild Mountain Thyme. There is also a fascinating version of Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, set to music! You can learn more about Casey Stratton on his official website here. You can purchase The Parting Glass at his online store, here. If you have any questions, you can get to him on Twitter here. I'm sure he'll be glad to answer any questions you might have about the new release, or any older ones as well.

Great Albums of 2011

Clockwise: Casey Stratton, Gregory Douglass, Chadwick, and Justin Utley.

You'd think with all the posts so far, how could there still be great music that was released in 2011? It is easy, you just listen to the music by the four outstanding men above, how put out wonderful music whenever they sit with a microphone. And, if I am not mistaken, they are all out and proud men who also happen to look very good in their pictures...

That is certainly true for Casey Stratton, who has been making great music since he was quite young, releasing his first EP, Driving To The Moon, in 1995. This year he released two albums, Hear The City and The Vigil. The latter was a response to the loss of his beloved pet, Henry, and it is just beautiful. The former, Hear The City, is a wonderful and so evocative.



I swear that Casey writes his music so that it is addictive, and I must have it all. You can purchase Hear The City at Casey's online store, iTunes or Amazon.

Another man whose music is just totally irresistible to me is Vermont's own Gregory Douglass. It still annoys me I have yet to be able to see him perform live, but hope I get to rectify that very soon. His latest album, Lucid, is a moody and vital work, with honesty pouring off it. I am particularly fond of the song Dream Come True. In the video below Gregory sings Lucid from the latest release.



You can purchase Lucid at Gregory's online store, iTunes, or Amazon.

Well, once you get past Justin Utley's Hulk-like build and dashing good looks, you get to know that he is also a talented singer/songwriter. His vivid and uplifting music touches me so, and let's me know he has lived a life that has not always been easy, but will always be a path for growth. The former-Mormon sings from the heart, and that can't be missed. Watch as he sings Stand For Something from Nothing This Real.



You can purchase Nothing This Real at Justin's online store, iTunes, or Amazon.

I happened across the music of Chadwick while working on this blog, and can't believe I hadn't heard his amazing voice before. The crispness of his tone is amazing, and how he manages to use it while singing great songs is impressive. His latest album, Live & Unplugged, shows off that voice, allowing it to tell the story with simple instrumentation. Watch as he sings What About Love from Live & Unplugged. The song was written by Brian Allen, Sheron Alton, and Jim Vallance and originally performed by the legendary rock band, Heart.



You can purchase Live & Unplugged on iTunes or Amazon.

Happy Birthday, Casey Stratton!

Today is Casey Statton's birthday, and to celebrate, I thought I would play two of my favorite songs, at least that would be appropriate for a Sunday morning. Cause, I appreciate being able to limit, cause there are so many songs that are my favorites! So let me start with the amazing song, You Were My Religion, from the 2008 album, Signs of Life. I just love it when Casey truly soars with that amazing voice of his!



While I am quite accustomed to seeing and hearing Casey at the keyboard, it is really delightful to see him playing the guitar in the next clip. Here he is, singing Beyond The Pale, from the collection Artifacts: Memories & Photographs.



But of these clips were posted by Casey as part of his Podcast series. I have loved it. You can find out more about Casey on his official website here. Now, if I mentioned the number of albums I have, one might think I was more than just a fan. And you'd be right, for I do love his music! You can listen and purchase it from Casey directly at this online store here. You can also find him on iTunes here, and on Amazon here. You can also stop by his Facebook page here, and wish him tidings for the day. You can also find him on Twitter here. Hope your day is amazing, Casey!

Cover Boys • Casey Stratton

I am an unabashed fan of Casey Stratton and the music he makes. His voice is amazing, and the piano playing - I could watch for hours. I could (and have) listen to Casey original music for hours on end. He makes such gorgeous and rich melodies. But he also has a wonder way with the music of other great artists. Here he covers Siouxsie & the Banshees 1985 song, Cities In Dust, from the Tinderbox album.



Another example of Casey's musical strength would be the 1985 song written by Patrick Leonard and Madonna, Live To Tell.The power of his voice is startling, and his sparse arrangement really highlights the beauty of the song.



For more about Casey, check out his official website here. You can also follow him on Twitter here - he is a great read. You can check out the music he has available in his digital store here.

New Memories With Casey Stratton

I really want to see Casey Stratton playing live, but have not been able to yet. I have faith that I will, at some point, get the job done. But I did purchase the DVD of his live performance in Michigan, which I will admit to watching more than once already. To keep myself fooled, I search for live clips on YouTube, and pretend I was there. It doesn't really work, but it does lessen the feelings. This is Shut You Down from a show in New York City. The song was originally on the Memories & Photographs album.



I remember a couple of years ago, when I know who he was, but still hadn't purchased any music yet. I contacted him, and he told me to give the Standing At The Edge album a try. I did. Boy, was he right. I have been a fan ever since! This is a live performance of Blood from that album.

A Snowy Winter's Day

Despite the calls of the last week for another Snowpacoplypse, the snow that feel during the night of January 11 to the morning of January 12 wasn't all that bad. In fat, it was just another winter storm, where the temperature was brisk, and there was 3-4 inches of snow. To celebrate the season, I thought I would bring you a cover of a Tori Amos song, Winter, sung by a favorite, Casey Stratton.



When I look out the back door of the house, I see a farm that, for the moment, is fairly covered in white, with a glistening sheen of moisture. It will soon be a coating of ice, waiting to be cracked like a coating on a tasty creme brulee. Only instead of getting to a creamy goodness, you will end up with a bunch of mud.




The trees have been frosted with the snow, reminding me of when I was very young, and my mother set up a flocked Christmas tree, covered with fake snow. But that could be I was already thinking about my youth, when I would be ever-so-excited about having a snow day off from school.



Happy Winter, everyone.

Casey Stratton to Play The Bitter End

Singer/songwriter Casey Stratton is set to play the historic Bitter End in New York City next Tuesday. The club opened in 1961, in the heart of Greenwich Village, and has been a launching pad for countless, and I mean countless, stars of comedy and music for the past 50 years. I went there a couple of times when I lived in the city, mostly catching more local talent. But I hae to say, there is something to be said for going into the club and realizing the past greats that have played there.



Casey will be playing Tuesday, January 11, 2011, and I have to believe it will be a fantastic show. Although I have yet to see Casey live, I did purchase his live DVD, and was quite impressed. I am hoping to get the chance to experience him live and in person some time soon. The show will be filled with great music, for Casey has a vast and interesting catalog to pull from. But if you are lucky enough to attend, you might be able to catch amazing music like Burning The Bridge, performed live.



For more information about the show, check here. For more about The Bitter End, check their site out here. For more about Casey Stratton, check out his official website here.

Christmas Music - Casey Stratton

Do you have a Christmas collection from this talented singer/songwriter? If not, your collection is incomplete! If you check out his A Winter Moon, it won't take long for you to decide you have to have it. Released last year, the 13-track album has proven standards like The Coventry Carol and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, as well as some brand new songs. I got it last year, and couldn't wait to hear it again! Check out the sample here.



For more about Casey, you can find him online here. You can buy A Winter Moon directly from Casey at his online store here. While you are there, you can also treat yourself to a Christmas present, and buy other music, including his latest concert video from his show at the Wealthy Theatre. It was recorded in November, and just became a Christmas present to me! You can listen to some of it here.

Happy Birthday, Casey Stratton!

Today Casey Stratton celebrates his birthday, and I just wanted to mark the day with a big hug! And the way I do that best is to pull up the video, and have it be from his recently released Live DVD. This is Blood, Live From The Wealthy Theatre. I really love the song, and this is an exceptional live version of it.



Casey also performed I Fail Again on the DVD, which I own and love! The beautiful song is from the Memories and Photographs album, which I also own and love. Hmmm, I see a trend there.



One way you can wish Casey a happy day is to stop by his website here, click on the digital store here, and buy some great music. I'll tell you I own several of the CDs on that list, and love them all. There is also the DVD available to order. You could also skip over to iTunes and check his music out there. Or you could check in to Amazon and click here and do a digital download of the Standing At The Edge album, which kicks some serious ass. Also the first music reviewed on this blog was Casey's. So you have some songs here, but you want the original material, I suggest clicking one of the spots above! And Happy Birthday Casey!

New Music from Casey Stratton

In preparation for the release of a new double album, Myth & Stars, September 12st, Casey Stratton has two new single available online. Hunter and Burning the Bridge can be downloaded from Casey's online store here, for just a minimum payment of $2. At just a buck a piece, they are well worth it. Preview Burning The Bridge here.



Hunter opens with the sweetness and innocence of the harpsichord, which is soon joined by Casey's beautiful voice. The languishing ballad just washes over you, the depth of the production building with stunning effect. As you can hear above, Burning The Bridges builds off the almost tribal drums, taking the beats into a distinctive pop sound.

For more about Casey Stratton, check out his official website here. And to buy the singles, click here. I look forward to hearing the new album soon!

Friday Night Party - Casey Stratton

Photos by Terry Johnston

Back on May 20th, singer/songwriter Casey Stratton had a live show at the Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Not only was it recorded to be made available for purchase, it was also taped for a future DVD release. The concert was sold out, as Michigan came out to support their talented native son. One of his popular songs is Blood, from the 2004 release Standing At The Edge.



He also performed I Fall Again, a song from the Memories & Photographs album release last fall. The gorgeous ballad is just intoxicating to me.



You can purchase a download of the concert here. I did, and it sounds fantastic, and covers Casey's music from the start of his recording career to the present. I look forward to purchasing the DVD soon!

Casey Stratton - For Reasons Unexplained

Despite being aware of him for some time, I managed to not have a single Casey album in my collection. He has been so prolific as an artist, I was a bit intimidated by the catalog. Since I had seen him on Twitter, I decided to solve the problem, and ask him which album to purchase first. Instead of treating me with disdain, he told me, and he was right, Standing At The Edge is a great album, and it was not my last purchase. But it was the first album reviewed on this blog, and so both it and Casey hold a special place in my heart. From that album, here is For Reasons Unexplained.



Check out the pictures and msuic on his official website here.
