Album – “More (The Black Album)”

Listen on Apple Music

More is more.

Original Release Date — September 5, 2005

More (The Black Album)
In Memory of David Black, Old House Recording Studio

*1. Swell (A Prelude)

5:39 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys: Jeff Hartman | HandSonic: Phill Kirby

A jam turned prelude.

2. Nerl

6:24 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman | Percussion: Phill Kirby

Nerl represents a time and place in my life when poetry and romance and one particular girl found me.

*3. 10 Brookside Blues

5:29 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

It’s all about jealousy and her address.

†4. Muse

8:38 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Banjo, Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

Muse is about writing songs for the wrong reasons. Too often songwriters are guilty of writing songs in an effort to promote some sort of hidden agenda, whether it’s political or “scoring with a chick.”

5. Where I’ve Been (Doesn’t Matter Now)

5:20 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Vocals: Jeff Hartman | Percussion: Phill Kirby

A sarcastic tribute to those who lose their identities to relationships.

6. Epiphany

7:37 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Vocals: Jeff Hartman | Percussion: Phill Kirby

On the rebound.

7. More

8:19 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

More is hopeless romanticism at its best. More is more.

*8. Déjà Vu

6:55 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

That feeling we’ve all experienced at one point or another.

‡9. September Song

7:19 | Bass: Micah Davidson | Guitar: Tony Eltora | Drums, Percussion: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Percussion, Vocals: Jeff Hartman | Percussion: Phill Kirby

This tune is about commitment. Carol Anne and I met on stage in the spring of 1996 and soon fell in love during fall production of The Fantasticks at The Green Room Community Theatre of Newton, North Carolina. I asked for Carol’s hand in marriage with the cloak and dagger help of friends and family on the second Saturday night in September of 1999 and wed one year later on the ninth day in September of the year 2000. The ceremony was held on stage in the Charles E. Jeffers Theatre of Hickory Community Theatre.

10. Kiss the Frog

5:23 | Bass, Vocals: Micah Davidson | Guitar, Vocals: Tony Eltora | Drums, Vocals: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman

Folk is a dish best served funky through the eyes of a toddler.

11. The Blues

7:56 | Vocals: Brandon Castagna | Vocals: Jared Castagna | Bass, Vocals: Micah Davidson | Guitar, Percussion, Vocals: Tony Eltora | Drums, Percussion, Vocals: Daniel Flynn | Guitar, Keys, Vocals: Jeff Hartman | Percussion: Phill Kirby

My favorite color is blue.
