On Yore Side

Have you been reading The Other Side of Yore and find yourself able to imagine the voices of the frogs and toads singing the songs you find between the pages? Have you ever wondered what Frawg’s voice might sound like, as he’s poling down the river on his tortoise shell boat? Do you imagine that Dr. Croaks has a deep, sonorous singing voice or that Buzz sings in a high falsetto? Have you ever wondered whether or not Frawg’s theotar sounds more like a guitar or a mandolin?

Well we’ve got great news!
Next week, Kenny Savage and my brother Eric Layden will be entering a state of the art studio in Savannah to record the long awaited album! All of the songs in the book will be recorded and mastered, and soon you will be able to listen to the music while you read the book!

Eric and I recently played together for the first time since our tour of Europe and the Atlanta Jazz Festival with Saskia Laroo, and it’s like we never skipped a beat! I am truly excited about this new album, and quite proud of the songs that are coming out of this reunion. And I am equally happy that Kenny is playing rhythm guitar and keyboards: we haven’t played with him since our early 20s when we were just starting out in music.

So in the next few months, check back here for sneak peeks! We’ll be releasing several of the songs on the album for FREE!
