Karen's Legs

When I was 18 years old, my father sat me down and cautioned me that I would never be anything more than a third rate musician. He told me that I should pursue a career in business. He then invested $3000 in equipment for my high school rock and roll band, most of which, to no one's surprise, he has yet to recover.

Thirty years later, following a business career that can best be summarized as a long sequence of serious mistakes and bad decisions, I seem to have recorded an album. I am hoping that the results will eventually convince my father that, after all, I have become a second rate musician.

KAREN'S LEGS is a selection of pop compositions written over a very long period of time, and recently recorded with the assistance of a wide variety of unusually talented artists. Do not look for a great deal of thematic unity, as I see no point in writing the same song twice. I grew up listening to top 40 AM radio, so the list of influences encompasses just about everything. Glam rock, folk, blues, country and western, jazz, Latin, maybe even some classical accents. Don't listen to this album if you suffer from a neurotic inconsistency disorder.

We are still working on an automated album order system. In the meantime, if you would like a copy of Karen's Legs on CD, please email trout@karenslegs.com.
