The Ideal Home Music Library (CD)
A collection of Cole Porter and Rogers and Hammerstein-inspired songs unearthed after decades of exile in one of America's foremost music institutions, and given new life by RECLINERLAND's MICHAEL GEORGE JOHNSON (or so sayeth Johnson in his 32 pages of liner notes). Twelve songs featuring Johnson at the piano with guests COLIN MELOY (DECEMBERISTS), ADAM SELZER (NORFOLK AND WESTERN), CHAD CROUCH (BLANKET MUSIC), and MORGAN GRACE joining him on the microphone. The songs are buoyed by trumpet, stand up bass, impressionistic drums, vibraphone, and accordion.![]()
