Search - Johnny Pariah :: Singer in the Rye

Singer in the Rye carries one step further the rock-folk tradition of Guthrie, Dylan, Springsteen, Reed, Waits, the Doors, & Patti Smith, among others, by crossing it with the literary tradition of T.S. Eliot, ee cummings, Wallace Stevens, Joseph Conrad, and J.D. Salinger, to name a few. From the "golden-arched and neon-crossed" roads of America to the dark streets of the Latin King, the songs cross the spirit of rock with the aesthetics of poetry and the intellectual bent of the philosopher, producing art works that deepen with every look instead of disintegrating.
