The American Crow is many things to many people… however in this particular case the Crow is there to represent all the musicians, singers and songwriters who have left us here on The Good Earth for the next realm…. whatever that realm may be.
We have all stood high on the shoulders of true giants who left their indelible mark on us. Many artists we will never see the likes of again. Most anyone who’s ever walked on a stage in an attempt to entertain others knows this inherently. It ain’t all that easy!
There’s more rejection than acceptance… more failure than success. AND.. all those who achieved some measure of success paid a heavy price for it… one way or another…whether you know it or acknowledge it… they did. It’s a given. It’s the Devil at the Crossroads. The Crow is on our album to pay homage to all those who came before us… then for whatever reason… left before us. And seriously… where the hell would we all be without them? “Thank God For Vinyl. “ …Arlis
Loving the new album! My friend Steve Schnee turned me on to it! Thanks for producing such wonderful music! The funny thing is, I had not been aware that Arlis was involved with Titan Records! I have a Titan box set and love the Scott McCarl (Raspberries) album on Titan from 1997! Plus! I own albums by The Scooters!! Larry’s other band! Small world, now all the dots are connected! I also have a You Tube channel and will review Not For Sale as soon as possible. Cheers and take care! Matt Street
Hey Matt… So glad you like the album. Looking forward to your review. Speaking of Steve… he just posted the first Peach and Lee interview on YouTube since the albums release.
What a great guy. Anyway… let me know when your review is in and I’ll post it to the website. Take care and and thanks for commenting. …Arlis!
