Vertical Alignment
“Land and Sky”
Vertical Alignment is pleased to release our first advance single from “The Trail of Tears Suite.” The first song on the release is “Land and Sky“ which tells the story of the Cherokees just before and through their contact with white Europeans. Penned by Peter J with vocals by Mike Florio, it captures a time that is forever lost. The song also features members of Ajalon as guest musicians along with former Glass Hammer guitarist, David Wallimann.
“Native Son,” the last song on the single is an unusual look at Cherokee humorist, writer, radio personality, and actor Will Rogers. This man carved a place in the early 20th century with his homespun wit and wisdom along with a healthy dose of finely barbed political commentary. This song was written by Mike Florio with a little help from Peter J and is beautifully sung by Mike. Kevin Thomas (Salem Hill) joins the band on drums. Vertical Alignment is also indebted to America’s premier Will Rogers impersonator, Randall Reeder, who added pithy quotes that you'll hear sprinkled through the song.
The “Land and Sky“ downloads are beneath the new CD order form.
