Released 2 years ago today, this is one of the albums I have paid the most for, and it's Thad's 5th album as a solo artist or band leader. I had heard of Thad Cockrell many years ago, but only really got to know his music when I saw him singing vocals on the band Leagues about 15 years ago now. Since then, I've been following his career with interest. For whatever reason, Thad Cockrell decided to make this album a bit of an exclusive item. It's not available on streaming, and Thad says this album is best understood if you listen to the whole 18-track, 80-minute album in one sitting. You can buy it for $99.99, and that's really the only way to hear it at this time (and maybe ever). Thad seems to like the old-school album experience and is arguing that, this way, he gets enough money to recoup the cost of making the album. I'm not sure it's working out for him, but I wish him the best. I like Thad's style and his often falsetto vocals. It's a long album that mixes pop, rock, country and soul, but it's definitely well-done musically. The songs are personal and fun, mostly lyrics about his life and love, with some occasional religious references. I had enjoyed Leagues and Thad's previous solo album, so I decided to take the leap and support independent music and buy a copy, and I'm glad I did.
