about

This is my first solo recording
a fat and scrappy maniacal mix of original tunes with covers by Leonard
Cohen and
Randall Hylton with words by Dylan Thomas and others.

Sometimes described as "Industrial Folk" many of the pieces started as jams
with myself and the fiery drummer Randall Coryell. Songs were written over
top of these grooves often adding dense layers of sound.
When I listen to this recording now, I sometimes think that this is what
happens when you are left alone with a microphone and a tape recorder for
 too long.

"...beautifully, gracefully twisted . . . the recordings are infused with a
kind of musical intelligence that transcends music itself . . . "

"...reveals the gifted instrumentalist as an off the wall vocalist with a
wild and woolly musical imagination. Uncompromisingly experimental, Jeff
Bird offers musical musings for the adventurous and brave at heart."
