about

The second C&C album. I call this one "Reagan" partly because I started recording it in California and finished it in Illinois (opposite to the former president), partly as a nod to Lambchop and They Might Be Giants. There's just as many songs as last time, but they're getting longer, more produced, and more collaborative, and all for the better (I hope).

This isn't a concept album, but I did find myself writing about religion, celebrities, and relationships a lot. There's also an Avett Brothers cover to betray my taste for country, and a medley to pay tribute to my Irish and Canadian roots.

I owe a shit-ton to family, friends, and Jones for making all of this possible. You people rule!
