When Richard X Heyman was putting together Tiers And Other Stories – an album about life in New York City – he would have to confront the memory of September 11, 2001. Three songs eventually were included – the first deals with the day itself (“Gravity”), the second contemplates the initial disbelief and then coming to terms with the reality and aftermath (“Day Before Tomorrow”) and the third addresses the sense of loss (“Beyond The Setting Sun”). These three songs are posted on his website, www.richardxheyman.com, in their entirety this week.

Happy New Year 2011
I’d like to wish all my readers a great 2011. As the years have passed on this blog, I realize as music aficionados we are bombarded with more new music every year – and I promise I will do my best to keep up. I will STILL be reviewing 2010 albums that didn’t make it to my ears till recently. As a way to usher in the new year – let me direct your attention to a FREE download of “Walk Tall” by Ziggy Marley & Paul Simon.
