Follow on Google News | With His New Album, NJ Troubadour Gary Alt Puts the Spotlight on Rock, But Doesn’t Hide His Soul“If we’re gonna rock, let’s just rock,” urges the popular Jersey indie artist with the release of the new CD, “Gift of Projection”
By: Promotable You “I’ve written a lot of songs over the years, covered a considerable number of topics, and paid homage to many legends and musical styles,” says Alt, who has performed solo and with bands at clubs in New York, New Jersey and throughout the Southeast, and has appeared on several radio programs. “I may take a little break now for personal reasons, but there are a handful of high-energy numbers I recently wrote that might deserve a platform of their own. So I made the decision to lay them down, before the break.” The list of new tunes on “Gift of Projection” is a shorter one than on Alt’s previous efforts, which include “Not for Sale to Minors” and “Tribute.” Among the songs on the new CD are “The Cruelest Goodbye,” an anguished cry that mixes rock with blues and vocally calls John Lennon to mind; “The Moon Always Finds Me,” a Cream-reflective cut with an arrangement that is very ethereal; “Do to Me,” an impulsive ode that is among the hardest of the rock numbers on the disk and features captivating harmonies, and several others that have hints of soul, grunge, garage and other recent styles of popular music. In addition to composing and arranging duties, Alt also played most of the instruments, provided most of the vocals, and directed most of the production on “Gift of Projection.” Gary Alt, who lives in Northern New Jersey, has been composing and performing music since his pre-teenage years. His last CD, “Not for Sale to Minors,” was noted by one reviewer as an album that “rocked my world one minute and soothed my soul the next... Something for everyone.” His previous effort was a fascinating album called “Tribute,” Alt also wrote and produced the albums “It’s About the Kids,” “Alien’s Heart” and “Open Road.” “Gift of Projection” is available at http://www.cdbaby.com/ # # # About Promotable You: We are a marketing communications service specifically designed to assist independent musicians, independent filmmakers, theatre companies and new authors with public relations and publicity writing, distribution and project management.
