2008, Bar/None Records
In August of '88, Otis packed up his car and moved to Hoboken, New Jersey, the undisputed mecca for skewed rockers. Taking nothing but his guitar, records,TV, sofa, wrenches, clothes and baby brother, he drove directly to his new apartment and unpacked. Dashing right to the recording studio, he locked the door and stayed there until June, stopping only for coffee and inspiration.
Many fascinating musicians were seen leaving the studio at all hours including They Might Be Giants,Bianca Miller of Pianosaurus, Helen Hooke of Strange Cave and John Papageorge of Kissyfish. The result is Otis Ball's debut effort, I'm Gonna Love You Til I Don't, a killer combination of humorous, insightful lyrics and catchy as hell melodies. We do know that Otis Ball is a bona fide wildman on stage, singing songs that pay homage to, among other things, Amy Grant, Buddhism and Charles Manson's birthday. We wish we could tell you more, but that's all we know. Just listen to the album - it says it all.
