FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The music label known as Wounded Ego
Records has released their new, signature LP collection of original
songs, “I Do.” The new album is comprised of 15 tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 44 minutes. A cavalcade of talent
and creativity that is certain to solidify Wounded Ego's place in
today's modern, independent music industry, “I Do” features the
talents of several acclaimed musicians and performers, including
David Steele, Nori Kelley, Lydia Salnikova, B. Sterling, and Bill and
Connie Ross.
“I Do” from Wounded Ego Records is
commonly categorized as pop music and adult contemporary listening,
but is decorated with elements of many other genres which make up its
highly textured nature. Many of country music's best attributes are
peppered throughout the full-length album, particularly in the case
of “Connie Connie Connie,” which can be considered the B-side to
the album's title track. “Connie...” is performed by Bill and
Connie Ross themselves (married for more than 27 years) and joined by
Nori Kelley.
The title track, “I Do,” is
performed by Grammy-Award Nominee Lydia Salnikova with Nori Kelley
and B. Sterling. It is a matrimonial anthem with country overtones,
which theme has been sadly wanting in country/western circles for a
surprising amount of time, making the title an appropriate and
welcome addition to the genre. The inimitable David Steele appears on
the record's opening track as well as on four additional songs.
The songs of “I Do” were written by
Bill Ross working closely with Nori Kelley on arrangements.
Ross cites as main artistic
inspirations the Beatles, CSNY, Sting, Bach, Fanny Crosby, and
Rodgers and Hammerstein. Of these, the influence of CSNY is
especially notable, lending a certain classic-rock/folk-music tinge
to the overall project, polishing its character to a high shine.
“I Do” presages several other Bill
Ross / Wounded Ego projects to come. This is notably so in the case
of “The Transcontinental Is on Its Way,” the LP's closing track,
which is planned for inclusion in his upcoming, collaborative musical
set in the USA's Reconstruction period following the American Civil
War.
“I Do” from Wounded Ego Records is
available online worldwide.
