Editorial Reviews Daniel Taylor is the other featured vocalist, performing solo and in duets with Christopher. The rare sonic blending of their two voices is usually found only in sibling duos. Dan also produced this CD in his Desirable Productions studio in the "Ghost Busters" firehouse in downtown L.A. He has produced music for television, commercials, Industrials, and film. Lynn Snodgrass, songwriter and arranger, has worked in live theater as well as television and video. She is also a visual artist and has produced a deck of fortune telling cards to compliment this CD. The music varies widely in style and arrangement. You'll nontice deffinite Rock and Roll numbers mixed with Country, Folk and Pop. One of the strengths of the CD is that no two songs sound the same. Each has its own texture and feel to match the lyrics. For those who feel that the music industry isn't producing music for anyone over the age of 19. Or for those who believe that popular, listenable music can be about something other than adolescent love. Take heart. Here is music that is lively and alive; intelligent and interesting; inspiring and thought provoking without being juvenile. We call it "Boomer Music" for all of you who are too old for much of what the music industry has to offer, but too young and alive to give up on the joys of having music written for you that speaks to you, your life experience and your generation.
About the Artist
Christopher Callen (she) was named for Saint Christopher while still in the womb in the pre-ultrasound era when baby's sex was still a surprise at birth. She has since lived up to her namesake by traveling the world (safely) performing in such varied venues as Broadway musicals, regional theatre, clubs and feature films. This is Christopher's first featured CD recording effort.
Album Description
"Older Than Sin" is a concept album of music and lyrics written by Lynn Snodgrass. Each song is inspired by the world of famous fairy tales and folk lore. The lyrics are a contemporary mirror of the ancient stories they reflect. Lynn has a quirky sense of humor and an imaginative approach to the different themes presented in this disk. The characters she draws are at once individualistic and archtypical. The twists and turns the lyrics perform are sometimes funny, sometimes whitty, sometimes shocking but always interesting.
