RICH SHAPERO is a musician and novelist experimenting with a new storytelling art form that intricately interweaves book and music. His first project is called Wild Animus. Wild Animus, the novel (released in 2004), tells the story of a man whose quest for the foundations of the heart drives him to the Alaskan wilderness where, alone with his dangerous ideas, he transforms himself into a wild creature pursued by a pack of strangely familiar wolves. Shapero's newly released music CD, The Ram, the first in a three-CD series, unveils the emotional core of the Wild Animus experience. Contributing musicians include Marc Ribot, Jim Campilongo, Charles Bissell, Jim Keltner, Iva Bittova, Hutch Hutchinson, and many more.<br><br><br>Visit the official Rich Shapero store at:<br><a href="http://richshapero.shop.musictoday.com/">http://richshapero.shop.musictoday.com/</a><br><br>Visit Rich Shapero's website at:<br><br><a href="http://richshapero.com">http://richshapero.com</a><br><br><br><br> http://www.imeem.com/richshapero Delta 0 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Sam Altman reminds me of waking up to look out the window and snows on the ground, with fresh cold air..mm Joseph Durant http://www.imeem.com/richshapero/forums/rQ9xSKwh/iLtz8yo0/what-does-this-track-remind-you-of/#8LgOLUomG_mUKVm Tue, 24 Apr 2007 21:41:32 -0000 8LgOLUomG_mUKVm Reminds me of a feeling, an opening that I get in my chest when I take a deep breath of icy clear air.

For me it's more about the message - I like the nature theme. I guess I like country music when it's about the actual country - the land. I think you have to listen to the whole album, not just Cock and Spring - to really get the feel for his stuff. Trippy.
