2006 new release from Saul Zonana that includes a limited, bonus DVD.
Simply stated, Zonana is one of great, under-rated, (moderately) unknown
artists in the realm of power pop. Not Lame has been pushing him for years
and many of you thanking us for doing so. Don`t know Zonana? Well, if
there`s a time to check him out, "Love Over Money" is it. Combined w/ an
excellent, fascinating DVD on the making of the album(including interviews
w/ top-notch musicians like Adrian Belew), Zonana brings all his talents to
roost. Filled w/ the splendorous guitar, high energy hooks and expressive
vocals found, the music falls into the schooling of such artists like
Matthew Sweet, Rick Altizer, Michael Penn, Candy Butchers, Doug Powell , he
Dotted Line and Greenberry Woods. It`s the type of power pop that would be
right at home on most FM rock-oriented radio stations if radio played decent
music. But it`s highly intelligent music at all corners. Every song here is
full of rich, melodic steam, filled with superb twists of the wrist or
surprising and delightful eruptions of harmony, while the production is
stunning. Although the disc features great musicians such as Gerry Leonard
(David Bowie, Duncan Shiek) and Aaron Comess(Spin Doctors), Saul plays the
bulk of the instruments himself on this collection. Another great one is
"Broken Home" which tells the story of a once loving family that begins to
fall apart. The melodies are unforgetable and the instrumentation rivals any
of your favorite classic rock bands.
""Some artists can write ear candy in their sleep, and Saul Zonana is one of
those artists. Though still without major-label affiliation, Zonana is one
of those rare songwriters who can just churn out radio-friendly material,
one album after another, with very few if any filler tracks."-BullzEye.
Reflects that soft pop/hard rock dichotomy by throwing big riffing guitars
at songs that straddle the middle-ground between pop-rock sweet and
hard-rock sweat....the blance between punchy pop and crunchy rock is borne
of Zonana`s broad musical experience"-Amplifier. Don`t miss out on the
limited bonus DVD!! EXTREMELY Highly Recommended!!
