There’s a real sense of now on singer songwriter The Whale’s new CD “Here In America”. An eye opening musical satire that smacks of honesty and heart felt humor. With tongue in cheek, The Whale’s cutting edge lyrics paint a revealing portrait of our present ship of state. Got freedom? The Whale is accompanied, on this musical expedition, by an International Coalition Of The Willing. Independent Contractors willing to try and save our sinking ship, by lifting it on the wings of music. Recorded and produced by Michael McCormack / Fiat Lux Productions, with help from Kim Shaheen at Flail Dog Studio in North Hollywood, California. Mastered by Pete Doell at Universal Mastering Studios in Hollywood, California. As The Whale, I am endowed by my Creator with certain Inalienable Rights and a multitude of talents. One of these talents is the ability to speak truth. An other is the ability to paint a picture with words and music. The songs I have written for this album, “Here In America”, are about a great nation run amuck by those who hold the reigns of power. We elected them. But they serve us not! They serve their own interest and the interest of others we do not know. Like the Americans of myth and legend, I endeavor to stand for what I believe is right and true. I invite you to listen to these songs and discern for your self if they have the ring of truth. If you feel what I’m saying, please buy a copy and spread the word. But more importantly, rise up and be men and women of noble character worthy of being called Americans. This album could only be made Here In America. It is inspired by the American Dream. My Country tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty. Of thee I sing. The Spirit of America is alive and well in me. And I fully intend to stand up for America and what I believe in. I urge you to do the same. God Bless America, The Whale Release Date The Ides of March, 2012 All tracks © 2012 The Whale / Fiat Lux! ASCAP..
