Follow on Google News | Big Bus Dream: Not for the Deaf of HeartDarkly Hopeful 'Big Dream Baby' Arrives Today and is available online!
By: Music Dish On 'Big Dream Baby,' the Charlotte, North Carolina-based Shannon (former leader of 4th Ward) and Tsikouras (Pat Metheny, Mamas and Papas) have recorded a voyage of emotional disintegration and redemption. The story is not unfamiliar, but the telling of it is original and universal. In Shannon’s eyes, we are trying and failing at life, at dreams, and finding a sort of unimagined grace in the wisdom it brings us. As he sings in “C’mon & Run,” the album’s anthemic closer, “you better have a big dream, baby / ’cause dreamers built this place / never think you’re it and the others are not / ’cause hatred has an ugly face.” The big dream, to Shannon, is a sort of battered salvation. From “Wonderland,” Big Bus Dream is about the distinctiveness of the song, the arrangement, the colors. Says Shannon, “People say when they hear our tunes they immediately know it’s us. That’s what original music should be about: sounding like no one else.” Produced by Shannon and recorded with Jamie Hoover, 'Big Dream Baby' includes cameos from Jeff Kephart, Brian Bayne, Julianne Allen, Andrew Shannon, Ben Huber, Ray Henderson, and Shoe String Symphony. 'Big Dream Baby' joins a Wampus Multimedia roster that includes recent and imminent releases from Arms of Kismet, The Crowd Scene, Waterslide, tvfordogs, the matthew show, The May Bees, Johnny J Blair, and Kowtow Popof, as well as popular tributes to Jonathan Richman, Lou Reed, and Warren Zevon.
