Album description

I've got to that point in the album-a-month project (17 albums released thus far from April2007 to August 2008) where I'm thinking: this track would go great with this track, and so on. Before I knew it, I'd put together 9 previously recorded tracks from the albums TIDALWAVE, ACOUSTIC ARCADE, LONG LIVE LOVE, and LEGEND. The tracks knit together well, and I like that. They have a folk/country feel, some of my best lyrics and melodies, and more than anything they're very personal and emotional songs for me. They are a clear introduction to my acoustic/folk/country songwriting if you are unaware of my work, a clear introduction to my lasting art..

WHY DYLAN'S DEAD?

I've called the project DYLAN'S DEAD? It's a rhetorical question. It's a big nod of the head to the legend. Anyone who knows about me and my music, also knows I have a handful of music gods I pay regular homage to - Bob Dylan, Elliott Smith, David Bowie, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, and John Lennon.

I can not believe my ears - this album is so good. The voice reminds me of silk and Guiness - it's so smooth and sexy. Fine songs one and all. Hail Sean!

Powerful

14/09/08

I can't fault this powerfully emotional album. The songs really touched me deeply. The themes ping-pong from love to loss to betrayal, with Wright's deep, resonant vocal sending shivers down my spine. Dylan's Dead is a must listen for all fans of indie, creative commons music.

Very fine listening

06/09/08

I liked This Is A Gun, dark and disturbing words but hooky as hell. I Keep Wondering stands out as a classy folk-country songs, Again good words and tune.

Sounds like a Dylan type album, but Sean Wright's voice is great. Not that Dylan's is not, but Dylan is more of a growler, than a tuneful singer, imo.

DYLAN'S DEAD? is a great title for the album. It fits with the folky-country feel. Though some of the songs like the cute I WISH I WAS A LTTER have harder rock guitars building into the track later.

It's an album full of cracking tunes.

So Sweet!

05/09/08

This album is so sweet! From the opener, BLOW THOSE BLUES AWAY right the way through to the final anthemic track TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY, Wright's songwriting genius shines brightly.

The lyrics are intelligent and world-wise, with Wright offering up his tormented heart and soul. He covers personal tragedies, such as the loss of a loved one in the super RETURN AGAIN, and the haunting THIS IS A GUN.

I read that this guy is in the middle of a music marathon, where he's been writing, recording, and releasing an album-a-month since April 2007. If this is an indication of his songwriting prowess, then I for one am eager to catch-up on his back catalogue.

DYLAN'S DEAD? was a real, pleasant surprise for me. I hope it is for other listeners. It's calm, cool, yet dangerously edgy. Top, top album!
