Wondering what you might be getting yourself in for with W.D. Neely? “Cheerful subversive” would put you in the neighborhood. Under that serene exterior there’s a happy agitator, quietly checking to see if you’re paying attention. Bringing wit and insight to (to name a few) love, stress, religion, denial, online privacy and income inequality, Neely arms you with humor and the odd unforgettable sound bite to help you face the countless frustrations of “civilized” life.
What fans are saying:
“Randy Newman 2.0.”
“Great album, showing the beautiful quality and range of W.D. Neely’s voice.”
“This guy’s a master of irony. And the arrangements are amazing.”
