-----------------------------------------------------
Manhattan Rob's latest release, "Half Crazy" is a four-song EP of material written from the the perspective of working class folks. Folks that he has come to know and love in his many travels and his now-home stomping grounds in the North Jersey hill country.
"Half Crazy" is about people. It starts out with "Douchebag Blues" a ripping low-down Blues tune with comical lyrics that applauds the poor guys that are OK with being at the bottom of the food chain.
The second track "Zombies In My Neighborhood", is a whimsical exercise, that complains about Zombies as though they were suburban garden pests. The accompianing track sounds like a 60's TV soundtrack. Good song for children.
Next up, "I'll Never Be The Same" is a heartbroken Blues ballad.
Like Zombies, the fourth track "Don't Tread On Me" is a chapter in the townie experience. With a slow ragtime feel, the toungue-in-cheek lyrics are a lament of departing greatness and the struggle of the want-to-work class that can't get a break.
This EP was produced by Giovanni Fusco at The Mix Shack
Guitars by Jeff McErlain and Pemberton Roach on Bass along with Giovanni Fusco on drums and keys.
Call it Americana, call it Blues, or call it Pop, "Half Crazy" is sure to be a conversation piece in your music collection.
Hello Everybody,
First off: thanks for sharing your email addresses! I promise to keep from cluttering your inboxes.
I am so knocked out by the quality of audience here at Number1Music!
If you told me there was a large listening community out there that explicitly supports independent music, I'd have a hard time believing you. But you guys and N1M are just that!
Getting spins for real people, who listen and interact, is a unique experience. It totally contrasts the anonymity of the industry-standard avenues toward listeners. Personally, the interaction here is gratifying and inspiring. And I have you guys to thank for that!
I've been getting inquiries for the address of my Facebook page, so I thought it would be OK to put it out for you as well.
Please stop by my FB page any time.

I can always use a "Like".
Speaking of "likes", I have some vintage nutty vids I made to some (early) tracks from the basement at YouTube.

I definately need some "Likes" there . . .
The songs I have uploaded to N1M will be coming out in a CD release in a month, or so. Stay tuned for more on that.
Thanks to all of you for your support, and thanks for supporting independent music!

About Manhattan Rob Walsh
Rob Walsh started out playing his music as a solo coffeehouse performer and street musician in 70's New York City. It was there he was given the name "Manhattan Rob" by his street-level associates in the Washington Square set.
With the close of the 70's, Walsh became an active side-man on bass, saxophone and guitar during the post-punk era in Max's Kansas City, CBGB and other NYC venues.
After an extended foray into the London Pub scene, Rob returned to the 1980's New York club scene. Rob fronted the enigmatic Hi-Fi TIE, which enjoyed the attention of large audiences in the large rooms as well as smaller venues. Hi-Fi TIE released one EP titled "The Boys Can't Help It" on Right On Red Records in 1984.
During the pursuit of other career horizons, Rob spent 10 years traveling in the heartland and cities of America.
When it came time to sing again in 2010, Walsh resurrected his moniker from nearly 30 years past. He made the rounds at the open mics, in the biker bar circuit, in the hills of Northern New Jersey. While doing solo acoustic gigs and as leader of Manhattan Rob & The Vagabonds, he drew on his life-long feel for the blues and the folk-like roots in him that were reawkened by his years of travel.
Walsh's books of self-penned compositions grew considerably in 2010 and 2011. Since the past decade of traveling, making contact with so many people, in so many places, he had plenty of material to build with. Walsh's writing comes from the heart, and he tries to write from his listener's heart. His themes tend to be populist with the added ingredient of personal depths that many are able to share.
Manhattan Rob's treatment of traditional blues is unique, as he sometimes completely re-engineers a song to get his rhythmic point across, and his audiences groovin'. When Rob sets his hands to covers, he usually draws from the pop and soul standards from the 60's, as well as his favorite traditional blues numbers.
With his unique application of interpretations and compositions, when Manhattan Rob performs a song, you know its coming from Manhattan Rob.
