Why am I doing this? Well, like me, I know you're here because you love del Amitri's music. So your taste is already a given, and I really believe that you'll enjoy the songs on this record. As I've said here before, Justin's been a major influence on me as a performing singer-songwriter. While that may not be instantly apparent on my debut CD, "Familiar Strangers," it's definitely more evident this time around, from the acoustic sounds of "Whenever We're Together" to the humorous (& timely) ranting of "Telemarket This!" (which is actually dedicated to Justin in the liner notes). If I could, I'd send out a million free copies of this record. but as you already know, the economics of being an independent artist make that a bit difficult. So if you'd like a copy, all I ask is that you send a blank CD-r and self-addressed stamped envelope for its return to you. Kind of like a CD tree without all the branches. You'll get the entire 12-song record: 11 originals and my cover of the late Dave Carter's dark blue love song "Merlin's Lament." These copies won't have the fancy full-color artwork, but then again, it's the music that matters, right? What does it sound like? Well, I've been at times compared to artists including Jackson Browne, David Gray, Freedy Johnston, John Mayer, Rhett Miller, Paul Simon, James Taylor and David Wilcox - all of whom I admire (and a couple for whom I've opened live shows). My music is acoustic-based, melodic folk/pop/rock. we like to call it passionate power-pop for roller-coaster romantics. If you love del Amitri, the Beatles and any of these artists mentioned, you're going to like "So Much Of What I Wanted." If you'd like to preview the songs, sound clips are available for the entire record at: www.cdbaby.com/guymichael2 Though the new CD is just now available to the general public through cdbaby.com, I'd really like OV members to hear & have it first. Feel free to email me with any questions, and I hope you'll take me up on this offer to share my original music. All the best, Guy-Michael Grande Route Five Records PO Box 310756, Newington, CT 06131-0756 USA www.guy-michael.com *Recorded at Signature Sounds Studios here in the Northeast U.S., the record features guitarist Duke Levine (Mary Chapin-Carpenter, Jonatha Brooke), bassist Richard Gates (Paula Cole, Bill Morrissey), percussionist Doug Plavin (Dar Williams) and a gang of fiercely talented supporting players. Scheduled for Fall 2003 release on my independent label, Route Five Records, the track listing is as follows: 1.. So Much Of What I Wanted 2.. Melinda 3.. Lifeline 4.. 26 Calorie Kiss 5.. Merlin's Lament 6.. Bonfire Girls 7.. Modern Marvel 8.. Old Boulevard 9.. Telemarket This! 10.. Whenever We're Together 11.. Hurricane Jane 12..
