CD DetailsSynopsis
Album Description An atypical debut release, Confounds The Breather samples the scope of Wilson's work, from the introspective to the humorous to the holy and sometimes all three in the same song! Three spoken-word pieces are also included on the album, delivering Confounds The Breather as an almost CD-chapbook by a fresh voice in literary as well as music communities. Guitarist Marc Mellion also appears on the album. ". . . But it confounds the breather. He should have liv'd, Save that his riotous youth, with dangerous sense, Might in the times to come have ta'en revenge, By so receiving a dishonour'd life With ransom of such shame. Would yet he had liv'd! Alack, when once our grace we have forgot, Nothing goes right; we would, and we would not." --from Wild Bill Shakespeare's Measure For Measure Similar CDs

CD ReviewsAn eclectic mix Raechel | Chicago | 01/22/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "The exterior artwork for "Confounds the Breather" lets you know not to listen to it with a set of expectations. On the front you see a statue of William Shakespeare (originator of the title of this CD). On the back is a photo of a city winter scene: dirty snow plowed onto the side walk, a trailer truck in the background and a "Park Here" sign directing drivers where to go. Shakespeare and parking lots, not two images you would place together. The contents of this CD fall somewhere in all points between the two. The style of works range from humorous Adam Sandler type rock ("Crack") to the moving, spiritual lyrics of "Some Trust in Chariots" to spoken word poetry ("Tree Sprites Never Learn"). Each track explores a different human emotion (humor, faith, loss) in a way that doesn't play for cheap sentimentality. The music is well executed (despite what the credits might lead you to believe "When the guitars sound good, that's probably Marc.") And the emotional depth of the lyrics show Alexander Wilson knows that words are just as important as guitar plucking to make a memorable song."
