CLAY McCORD

The album contains 16 ORIGINAL songs that range from semi-classical to soft rock, with varied instrumental accompaniment. Lyrical themes vary and are of a love / social / environmental / spiritual nature . Audiophile quality sound is open and spacious & the CD was recorded in Las Vegas with songs and lyrics composed by the artist. Performance, arrangements, and production were also done by the same artist. This production quality cannot be as appreciated on MP3 / computer downloads. There is no monotony here with variation in mood, sound and tempo. The album progressively becomes more dramatic in texture with a concert hall feel which evokes passion and depth. There are catchy tunes that could be sung by anyone, but other songs might bring one to tears & deep emotion. Any music lover would enjoy this album. It comes with a 16 page booklet so that listeners can enjoy the lyrics more. This album is an attempt to rebuild some of the musical culture from the past inasmuch as the ballad has recently been overlooked.
