All music, lyrics, instruments and vocals by Alan J. Lipman
------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------From Amazon.com:
Alan J. Lipman, who also goes by the recording name X-Patriate, is the OneSuch artist, songwriter, multiinstrumentalist, and vocalist known for "The Cost", "I'd Rather Close My Eyes", "Dirty Little Secret", the Iraq War critique "More and More Like a Civil War", as well as "Future Remembers", "Dirty Life", "Pennsylvania Avenue", "Rome Burns", "A Physical Thing" and more.
"Greetings From Lafayette Park" is the new release from Lipman, straight from the complex and flowing, hard and warm, beating concrete heart of Washington. To date, over 200,000 people have experienced X-Patriate. Now, "Greetings" brings 16 new songs to the fore.
As has always been the case, Lipman writes the lyrics and music to every song on the album. He plays every instrument and sings every vocal.
Embracing styles and ideas as diverse as the rising hopes, struggles, and ultimately uniting dreams of a nation, as signified by the drive both on and up "Pennsylvania Avenue"; the tabla- and sitar-infused "Future Remembers"; the cool and knowing "Dirty Life"; the depth and resonance of "The Cost" and "I'd Rather Close My Eyes" (receiving raves from Whipart); the haunting "Dirty Little Secret"; and the uncanny delicacy and eerily encompassing understanding of "The Joke", "Unintended Consequences" and "Motorcycle Interstitial"; "Greetings", like Springsteen did via Asbury Park, captures a world in lyrical inner and outer motion, a running narrative of the complex and powerful forms of emotional life--the dark and most human longings, as seen in a city that exemplifies those experiences in all of us.
On "Greetings", Lipman creates lyrical passages of depth, complexity and multiple meanings that, at the same time, connect to fundamental human experiences:
In Greetings, you will find 'Vivid lyrics' and 'magic songs'.
-Whipart: 'Beautiful'
-Nighttime: 'Sensation and Passion'
