New CD Released: 'Love & Emotion'

As an artist, its very satisfying to finish a work, especially one that has been in process for over a year. Bethany and I wrote the first song for this collection in March of 2006, as we were finishing up 'Organic Alchemy'. This particular CD wanted to express itself in the bluesy, country, americana, soul kind of way. It's mostly voice over 12 string acoustic guitar, with some dobro on a few songs. A few songs seemed to cry out for more elaborate and specific instrumentation, and it was a lot of fun creating from a full palette for those. 'Let It Go', 'People Are People' and 'Pawn Or A King' are that way. As on the previous CD, the flight towards a jazz feel continues with 'I Feel', which is the first song I chose to put up. I am especially proud of all of these songs. There were more songs finished, but with 17 already on this one, it made no sense to crowd the field and lose the focus of what hangs together rather well. Like a show in a gallery, it feels just right the way it's sequenced. The song called 'Free' is about Nature, and its power and influence in our lives. I chose to sing it in octaves, and to add a short chorus at the end to accentuate that quiet power and influence, and its dramatic relation to silence. I could go on and on, but if you are really curious, and I hope you are, you can hear a sample of every single song on this album at: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/kashalex8 Also, there's a wealth of Art and Music, and now a video of a song from this CD, at the website: www.alexkash.com In any case, and as always, my best to all of you.
