The Track List:

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT (Townshend)
The Who, 1965 – no one has ever done anything better.

THE WOUNDED WHALE (Fisher)
My protest of the hideous, inhuman abomination that was (and still is) commercial whaling.
If this doesn’t put a lump in your throat or a tear in your eye, then I haven’t done my job.

BURNING LOVE (Linde)
Can Shawn Rogers sing Elvis? Elvis’s mama CRIES when Shawn sings Elvis!

ALVIN GOES DOWN (Wynne)
I gots de Chipmunk blooz, baby, I gots de rodental azures…. For Dave.

JUST HOW BLIND? (Fisher)
My all-time favorite tear-jerker written by Procol Harum’s Matthew Fisher.

GIBBERISH
Machine wrapped with butter?

EVERLASTING LOVE (Gayden)
There are about 50 versions of this song. This is now my favorite.

I WANDERED BY A BROOKSIDE (Trad.)
Reworked (well, re-sung anyway) from the “Fully Evacuated” album.

SING FOR US TONIGHT (Wynne)
A pair of concerts by Debi Smith inspired these lyrics.

AFTER THE GOLDRUSH (Young)
Starring the Shawn Rogers barbershop quartet!

NATURE’S WAY (California)
The Spirit classic from ’71. Debi Wynne does the harmonies.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS (Martin/Blane)
For all good little Cadavers everywhere. Debi Wynne plays the sleighbells.

CONTINUING DISCLAIMER: No one in their right mind ever said I could sing.

Recorded in the dank, dark recesses of Cadaver Studios, Silver Spring, Maryland,
on a Korg D1600 16-track digital recorder, September 2002 – March 2003.

The Lone Cadaver uses Rickenbacker & Martin basses, Ovation, Gibson & Yamaha
guitars, Korg keyboards, Shure microphones, and Rotosound & Gibson strings.
But the companies couldn’t care less and didn’t subsidize a thing.

Many thanks to Propootaa N’Dukkie, Princess Diandra, Deep Undercover Agent Jackov,
Captain Cadaver Rogers and the Waycool Guitarist
for support above and beyond the call of the wild.
