A unique look into the soul of the poet and the composer, this recording presents the listener with an opportunity to hear Ricky Ian Gordon sing his own songs, while accompanying himself on the piano. Quite a contrast with the grandiose scale of his famed operas, such as The Grapes of Wrath, this is an intimate and very personal offering from one of the most beloved American composers of opera, musical theater and song.
An exquisite taste in poetry, complex harmonies, sophisticated yet very appealing vocal lines, everything that made Gordon’s songs such an enormous  success among singers of all generations and walks of life – from aspiring high school students to superstars such as Renee Fleming and Dawn Upshaw – is delivered with poise, simplicity and heartfelt warmth by the author himself.
