专辑简介

The long awaited new album from Philly songster Tony Mecca has finally arrived. And just in time to attempt saving our pompous and ego driven society with a cold shot of humility and pure passion. In earlier web site posts, this project had been stated as a "collection of older album remakes; cover songs; live work and some new songs that don't fit in with what we normally do." Well, from these humble roots, this new song cycle has blossomed into a wondrous and majestic mother tree of revealing introspection, romantic intrigue and further exploration into the joy and tragedy of "The Human Drill." Via tender metaphor (Two Trees & Corridors), and hilarious tongue-in-cheek body-shots (The Farmer & I Ain't That Stupid Anymore), Heavy Mental Gypsies provides further evidence that Mecca is a master storyteller and street philosopher, who also delivers impassioned performances and unrelenting hooks at every turn and stop-light of his beautiful urban American landscape. Very highly recommended!
