Avalon and Only Way To Be Alone

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to acquire both Anthony Green's new cd Avalon as well as Good Old War's upcoming release Only Way To Be Alone. I, as many others have, have been anxiously waiting for Avalon to be released and with the release date being this week I was finally able to give this cd a listen. Only Way To Be Alone will be released later this month and was definitely a pleasant surprise to listen to. I won't get into too much detail on either album as I think you should really listen to both for yourself but I will say that both whole heartedly earn my recommendation. For those of you who haven't heard of Good Old War, they were formed by two members of another great band Days Away as well as Dan Schwartz, the guitarist from Unlikely Cowboy. The band name came about by taking part of each band members name, Keith GOODwin, Tim ArnOLD, and Daniel SchWARtz. The interesting thing about hearing both albums on the same day is that on Anthony Green's Avalon, Good Old War is featured as the backing band and plays an excellent new version of the popular song Dear Child. Anthony was able to return the favor by adding his stand out vocals on the track Weak Man for Good Old War's album. On August 6th, Anthony Green will kick off his solo headlining tour where Good Old War will not only be playing in support with Person L but will also be his backing band. For CT residents this tour stops at Toads Place, New Haven on September 13th.
