Robert Alberg: Night Wind

Brand new hit CD single from our favorite Washington-based folk troubadour, who is the son of a multi-millionaire, and was found making a deadly toxic substance called ricin in his home, but without any intentions to harm anyone. He seems to have improved his musicianship somewhat, and is attending music courses at a community college. He’s sent us a bunch of CD-r’s, most of which wouldn’t actually play. This one just contains a single song (length: 2:50) and is typical of his style. Really shrill, nasal vocals with lyrics about ocean water and night wind. The guitar is a bit less harsh on this one, and the guitar and vocals aren’t hard-panned, so he’s learning a little bit about recording, but his voice still clips a bit. Basically, this is the classic definition of outsider music. No typical rhythm or song structure, he just rambles on for a few minutes and stops just shy of 3 minutes, and then the CD’s over. Play this a ton and feel the night wind blowing around you on the ocean water!
