Up In The Air

What is original music anyway? Once in a great while, truly groundbreaking new musicians define a new style, characterize a generation, and create a new genre. Along the way, music that is 'too' original may fail to be memorable These songs are not so original that you would forget them. You will recognize hints of the best of a broad section of existing music. There is a rich tradition of blues, folk and rock music that is always the foundation here. This is original music from the heart, and without any desire to copy anything, credit is gladly given to all the masters who have gone before. The outcome of this blend is interesting enough to be good listening today, and who knows? It may even endure long enough to influence others who pursue the path of hand crafted folk rock. Up In The Air is a collection of many emotions, from fearful to hopeful, from thoughtful to just needing to pull out the stops and go. It builds upon prior Roger Hammer CD's that are published on electronic sites like iTunes: the introductory BANG and more introspective Bed of Nails.
