Search - Reynolds Robinson :: Side Effects of Dying

The Side Effects of Dying, the debut CD from the singer/songwriter duo Reynolds Robinson, offers a very tongue-in-cheek look at Pam Reynolds' benchmark clinical death experience case that continues to rattle the foundations of science worldwide.Since 1991, the name of Atlanta-based Pam Reynolds has been synonymous with consciousness research. Television, print media and radio, both here and abroad, have detailed Pam Reynolds and her groundbreaking brain-aneurysm case. Before her clinical death experience, Pam was a classically trained multi-instrumentalist, orchestrator and songwriter.On The Side Effects of Dying, Pam has partnered with critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Rob Robinson. A Mississippi native now based in Nashville, Rob wrote and produced three CDs with his jazz/rock band, Fearless Freap, and later formed the group Whirlybird, which released a CD that charted at college radio and Modern A/C. Pam and Rob began writing together in 2003.The Side Effects of Dying was mixed by Rodney Mills (Atlanta Rhythm Section, Sheryl Crow) and takes the listener on a journey to the edge of consciousness and back again. Among its many highlights are the first track, "If I Live Through This," a humorous, cautionary tale about why you should never pick up women at the state fair; "Young Avenue" welcomes you to your independence with reckless abandon; "The Crying Fields" is an introspective look at the search for forgiveness; and "What Are We Waiting For?" challenges every fear that ever held you back. Two of the songs on the CD, "Coming Back to Life" and the title track, focus on Pam's near-death experience.
