Volume XI: 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 singing Volume XI from A Better Place. No one word will describe this better place, 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. Super XX Man is Scott Garred, Michelle Garred, and Alison Wesley. Like family, they belong together, as Wesley lands the drums, flute, and harmony vocals that reflect Garred’s delicate yet rich tenor voice. Look out Willie Nelson–Super XX Man and family are on the way!
