A Better Place

Having entered double digit territory with his recording legacy (numbered by “volumes”) we find Scott Garred’s musical alter-ego Super XX Man (and co.) singing Volume XI from A Better Place. No one word will describe this better place with justice but without question the song cycle conjures up themes of nesting, family values, domestic life, companionship and lost youth, all from a refreshing, non-didactic point of view. This is universally charming music. It is trend-less and unabashed. A Better Place will crumble stony facades and have listeners kicking up their heels.
