Bay State Lullaby

Description

This album documents my attempt to understand the major changes in my life – the end of an era (the breakup of Say ZuZu in 2003) and the beginning of a new one (I got married, moved from a small town to the city, had two children, and started a new career as an ethnomusicologist during the time it took to finish this album). The album also pushes me to seek my own musical voice outside of Say ZuZu. I wanted a sound built around an acoustic guitar, somewhere between Neil Young's "Out On The Weekend" and Merle Haggard's "Mama Tried." It was a time when my life strayed from the script I thought had been written for me. I was, as the song says, happy and confused. This record helped me untangle the confusion.
