Wake of the Moon was my first solo CD, released in 2001. This was a lo-fi, home project that I completed at the urging of friends who convinced me that my stuff should be heard by others (I was less sure).
Confused about how to get the music out to people with no reputation and no fan-base to speak of, I decided to offer the album online as a full, free download–something rare at the time. I also provided complimentary CDs for folks who otherwise couldn’t afford them, or who didn’t have an easy way to pay me (pre-Paypal days).
I managed to get a few positive reviews–including one on the main Nick Drake website–and interest in the album began to grow. Soon I was heading to the post office several times each week to ship out CDs and spending a lot of time emailing back and forth with listeners. I received a good deal of encouraging feedback and made many new friends, including several who have remained close over the years.
My most popular song to date–My Love in Blue (featured on the TV show “One Tree Hill”)–is on this album. Feel free to listen to/download indiviudal songs or the whole CD:
