about

PRESS:

"A little-known, local singer-songwriter from the Monterey area has created an alt-rock album that’s like a wonderful time warp. Calling himself The Errant Hair, his debut album, The Journey Of The Lonely Child, transports us back into the 1970s, when progressive rock and trippy folk-rock ruled the airwaves. There are also a few forays into more Americana-flavored folk-rock and some psych-rock touches among the nine tracks.

The Errant Hair’s songs are really well done, musically and lyrically, with epic anthems that soar into the atmosphere or recall the keyboards of artists such as Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Several tracks are reminiscent of vintage King Crimson and other prog-rock acts, the Moody Blues, and even Harry Chapin at his finest.

If you never had the chance to experience the late 1960s and 1970s, The Journey Of The Lonely Child provides a convenient portal to that time and place.

Track highlights:The second track on the album, “In The Darkness,” brings together Emerson, Lake & Palmer-like keyboards with Moody Blues-sounding vocals. Like many of the tracks on the CD, this features a long, satisfying instrumental trail-out.

“Bounty” is a slow-tempo chamber-pop ballad, with lead vocals and a sensibility similar to a classic Who ballad. “How Can Life” is an introspective, organ-based, proggy folk-rock song with a lilting melody — and lyrics that examine the mysteries of life’s passage.

“Dark and Restless Night” is epic, Americana-flavored folk-rock that recalls the Harry Chapin of “Taxi” fame. With its strummed guitar, piano and accordion (or synth version of that), it will have you humming the tune long after it’s over.

The eighth track on the album, “Rescue,” starts with a deliberate medieval-sounding, steel-string guitar, but soon transitions to an up-tempo tune with tight riffs. Very catchy!

The closing track on The Journey Of The Lonely Childis a true anthem. At nearly 9 1/2 minutes, it’s a brilliant example of progressive rock — with flowing synths and trippy squiggles, plus a long, cool atmospheric play-out of more than five minutes."
