The original words and music by Howie are infused with humor, political satire, blunt realities, social commentary, fun and, most importantly, hope. This harmonious blend transports the listener on a unique musical journey through the dark years of the Bush-Cheney era to a time of renewed optimism. This CD goes beyond being the usual platform for the expression of non-productive anger by the loving inclusion of heart centered songs that express hope, optimism and positive resolve.
This CD includes vocal and instrumental music presented with an eclectic mix of musical genres including rock, jazz, folk, pop, military and new age. Musical performances are presented by the composer and many contemporary performing and recording artists including select vocalists from the popular recording group "Robert Gass and On Wings of Song" and DJ Mr. Rourke.
After four decades of performing, touring with and recording other artists' music, his creation of "Oil Man Commander-in Chief" finally gives voice to Howie's own musical compositions, lyrics and unique musical style.
