McGee's been called a 'prodigy' and such. I just call him the real thing.
Product Description
ANONYMOUS, the third full-length album by 23-year old Kieran McGee, builds on the experiences that coursed through his 1997 debut, Left For Dead, and its independently released follow-up of 2001, Ash Wednesday. The new album picks up on themes of faith (religious and otherwise, in "Faithless" and "Good Enough"), self-worth ("Waiting For a Friend," "I Guess I Lied Again"), dangerous girls ("Odessa," "Big Surprise"), the stillness of death ("Quiet"), ghosts ("The Second Time"), guilt ("Hope"), more than one breakup ("Losing You Again"), more than one drug overdose of a close friend ("Don’t Lie Down," "Anonymous"), and the Myth Of Sisyphus ("Lonesome Road").
The new album was produced by Steve Rosenthal, known for his recent work in the studio with Ollabelle, the homegrown group signed to T-Bone Burnett’s DMZ label (via Columbia Records). Ollabelle’s rhythm section (bassist Byron Isaacs, keyboardist and guitarist Jimi Zhivago, drummer Tony Leone) accompanies Kieran throughout most of ANONYMOUS, proving themselves on tunes that range from twangy country ballads to bashing rock numbers to the bruised and bloody title track.
