Alter egos have a long history in popular music, ranging from individuals such as Hank Williams’ Luke the Drifter and Lady Gaga’s Jo Calderone, to entire groups, such as XTC’s Dukes of the Straosphere. Actors dabbling in music have also had a long history, though often one that’s more of opportunism and dilettantism than actual craft. Luckily onn his debut as the nomadic Escape Tailor, actor Jeremy Sisto (Six Feet Under, Law & Order, Suburgatory) shows himself to be both a good storyteller (Tailor’s history includes fifteen years busking the streets Los Angeles) and a talented musician. His self-titled debut is led off by “Just Cuz,” sung in a voice whose emotional quality quietly supersedes Tailor’s fright wig and chalk makeup.

I wrote ‘Little London Lou’ in memory of a wonderful girl whom I was very fond of. Louise Cattell died aged 21 on 2nd March 2011 from an accidental overdose of ketamine. Her spirit was one that lifted everyone who knew her. Louise’s family want her spirit to continue fueling you and everyone you know, by sharing her story through this song and to raise awareness about the dangers that face young people today.
When you BUY this single, ALL PROCEEDS will go to The Angelus Foundation (Angelusfoundation.com), a charity dedicated to raising awareness of the dangers of legal highs and club drugs.
A beautiful eulogy, but one written much too early.
A shambling country-folk death song with a double-entendre on “Air Supply” that includes a tribute to the classic soft-rock band along with nods to Tommy Tutone, the Oakridge Boys and the varied pleasures of state fairs. Clever and sweet. From the album Antique Imagination.
Possibly the happiest a band’s ever been to perform their hit single.
