True to form, \u003ci\u003eGerry Beckley\u003c\/i\u003e the album contains 12 outstanding tracks including first single “Crazy,” the most self professed auto-biographical song in “Well Worn Shoes,” and the soulful “Red and Blue” which leaves no mystery as to its subject matter. Produced, arranged, engineered and mixed all by Gerry along with his good buddy Jeff Larson, Gerry also plays the bulk of the instruments on the album. \"I tend to do things in layers,\" says Beckley. He cites influences such as Tom Petty's “Wildflowers\" and, more recently, The 1975. \"I've been kind of dipping back into the Wall of Sound stuff and using more echoes and just making it bigger. It might not sound like that at first, but if you were to put some headphones on and listen you start to notice little things that make the songs work.\" And he adds that the chemistry he and Larson share cannot be overstated. \u003ci\u003eGerry Beckley\u003c\/i\u003e continues a musical path that's now in its seventh decade and, in Beckley's mind, a continuing conversation between a songwriter and his audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmnesia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWell Worn Shoes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrazy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody’s Talkin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSIDE B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFolly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhere There’s A Will\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEven If Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed And Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Lit Window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct images are for illustration purposes only.
