"I AM THE SAD, SORE ASSHOLE OF YOUR WORLD, THE CACKLING PARROT OF YOUR DOOM" is now available for sale worldwide, as a CD or digital download.
[Goodbye, cruel links. - ed]
This wild, raucous and often funny collection of songs on texts of American poet Charles Bukowski is written for male voice and a modern "chamber orchestra" that includes electric guitar and bass, a huge percussion arsenal and up to six keyboard players. The 12 songs touch on subjects such as drinking, women, the creative process and growing old, sometimes all at once. They are enclosed by an instrumental Prelude, and a six-voice Fugue with all the stops pulled out.
Vocalist (and composer/pianist) Paul Amrod provides a bonus track, the jazzy "Variations on a Drunk Piano" for piano solo. Latin percussionist Steve Thornton and bassist Andrew Hagerman also appear on several tracks.
This album was made possible with the full support of Linda Lee Bukowski and The Bukowski Literary Estate.
