Synopsis

Album Description

Produced by Doug Haywood, this is a romantic collection of innovative guitar techniques and live-each-day philosophies, woven into song by the steady hand and knowing heart of the Psycho-Desperado. "Affected By The Moon" is a gypsy minor shuffle, atmospheric as a night in Paris. "97 Hillside Road" is a poignant and vulnerable song about a house full of memories. "If Not Now" is a cowboy samba celebrating the spirit of manana, lyrical as a full moon in Old Mexico. "Inside Of My Face" is pure folk-noir! At once hilarious and uncomfortably true, it looks playfully at what can happen when we give in to the pathetic mewlings of our brain stem. "Laurie Ann" is a rocking tribute to an ex-girlfriend's Louisiana accent. Masterfully crafted and tastefully accompanied, these songs are performed with the acoustic guitar sharing the center stage with that...that VOICE!

CD Reviews

AFFECTED BY THE MOON SHINES

Claire Koenig | INDIANA | 10/02/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As a long-time fan of Chuck Pyle's I was not surprised to find that AFFECTED BY THE MOON was a musical jewel.Loaded with killer songs, most of which he wrote himself, the CD is a great mix of several types of music. The title track is reminiscent of a 40's torch song and you can almost feel the magic of the night and the moonlight. On "97 Hillside Road," Chuck's voice really soars and you can feel the pain with him on this tale of lost love. "Blue Train" is a driving, mid-tempo number written by Tom Kimmel & Jennifer Kimball and although the subject matter is sad, the melody and tempo have you feeling better before the song ends. "Inside My Face" is a cool take on how whacky we all can be and the instrumental, "Spank" shows the great guitar playing which has made Chuck Pyle a western favorite for years. Check it out. Chuck Pyle will not steer you wrong. A great listen from beginning to end and a CD that's bound to leave you happy."
