:: Release Notes:
::
:: "Greatness has rubbed off on Ciampi as this is a wonderful
:: piano based love letter to classic power pop fans. Like the
:: Nines, Frank wears his influences like badges of honor. From
:: the Ziggy Stardust meets Ringo Starr mix on the title track
:: ("Big Top Woman") to the Wondermints-styled "Waiting For
:: Someone" the songs all have a wonderful sense of melody and
:: hooks. The Beatlesque stamp is all over this entire album,
:: with most songs evoking Sir Paul, like "The Miss Jenny" and
:: "Oh Gloria." Lets not forget the Beach Boys bliss-like
:: singles "Anna" and "Anyway." The production techniques are
:: rooted in the 70's, with touches that bring to mind
:: Supertramp or Andrew Gold. A great example of this is "On The
:: Road" with it's awesome guitar solo and multi-tracked chorus,
:: piano breaks, it's an epic poem in every sense that lyrically
:: ties together the other songs. Every track here is wonderful
:: and even the closer "Along for The Ride" evokes the ghost of
:: Big Star. The musicianship is flawless as well and I'm pissed
:: I couldn't add this to last years top ten. If you even like a
:: little bit of the mentioned influences, this is a MUST buy
:: disc."s
