Bill Kaffenberger - Jingle Jangle Morning

2006 release release from Bill Kaffenberger and follow up to " This World Is Bound To Fall". Modern themes through a jingle jangle 1960s style Rickenbacker Electric 12 String folk rock sound with a touch of acoustic in the mode of The Byrds, Roger McGuinn and Tom Petty. The Byrds and Roger McGuinn meet born again Bob Dylan doing a jingle jangle folk rock Rickenbacker Electric 12 String dance with Van Morrison and Gene Clark, sometimes acoustic, sometimes electric, always fun. Bill Kaffenbergers sophomore effort, Jingle Jangle Morning, lives up to its title ? and then some! Byrds and Roger McGuinn fans should dig this disc in its 17-track entirety. The title song is very reminiscent of McGuinns electric work, and numerous other songs fall into the McGuinn/Tom Petty school of chiming Rickenbacker folk-rock music. Like McGuinn, Bill Kaffenberger is not reluctant to display his spirituality in his choice of lyrics and song topics (Mystic Night and Stand With You Awhile). The McGuinn influence is also evident on the rap raga tune Who Are All These People (which appears as a full-length song with lyrics and a shortened instrumental track). Trouble On The Border opens with a chord progression that is very similar to the McGuinn-Clark-Hillman Top 40 song Dont You Write Her Off. The highlight among the acoustic tracks is Bills cover of the great Gene Clark ballad With Tomorrow. Bills material often reminds me of fellow singer/songwriter and Rickenbacker 12-string wielder Herb Eimerman. Bills growth as an artist is particularly evident in his vocals and songwriting - both more confident than on his 2005 debut album, This World Is Bound To Fall. Jingle Jangle Morning will definitely please Baby Boomers ? and it should appeal to younger music fans that appreciate the timelessness of 60s-inspired pop and folk-rock music."-Eric Sorsensen, Fufkin.com.

There are many artists that have been influenced by The Byrds and Roger McGuinn`s Rickenbacker 12 string guitar style. Long time Byrds/McGuinn fan BILL KAFFENBERGER is one of them..An excellent piece of work, this is just what we Byrds fans need to get our shot of Byrds/McGuinn/Rickenbacker 12 string sound. Bill wrote 10 out of the 12 songs on this CD. He is credited with lead and harmony vocals, acoustic guitars, electric 12 string guitar, production, engeneering, mixing and mastering."-ByrdsFlyte. Fans of Byrds/Gene Clark inspired jangle will not be disappointed!
