about

“The Greatest Great Book Songs” is a collection of what I’ve deemed the greatest of the songs about great books. Great Book Songs are songs based on the greatest literary works in Ancient Greece. This particular collection not only has the greatest songs from the previous collections, but also has several excellent remixes and live and acoustic versions as well. This album was recorded in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Seattle, Washington and Chicago, Illinois. My favorite tracks are “You May Not Know Me (remix),” “Xerxes (acoustic)” and “Achilles (live) (feat. Gluck, Abe and Drew).”
