Geoff's latest CD

Buy it from Geoff's online store.

There are thirteen songs here - eight (three instrumentals) were written by Geoff. They range from the bluesy swagger of the title song to a journey through the night of the heart (Muscle for the Wing) to the humorous (The Cat Song). Other titles include a previously unrecorded Tom Paxton song (The Losing Part), a calypso number with social commentary (Money is King) written by The Growling Tiger of Trinidad, another gem by Boston songwriter Ed (I Fall Up) White (Nobody Cares), and a Skip James blues (Look Down the Road).
