Title:	The Road Goes On
Label:	ALM MUSIC (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	ALM 3104CD

"New album by our beloved Alan Munson after 30 years of silence. Time has passed, but Alan is still diggin' the same sort of laid-back folk-rock of his First Light and Good Morning World days. The same great harmony vocals, the same top-notch songwriting. Most of you guys loving his early works will be more than pleased with this one. A slightly more modern-sounding touch is there with some keys, which may also be making the sound more attractive to many. The album includes new versions of two First Light tracks: 'A Visit From A Friend' and 'Sail Away Forever'. Again, Alan plays all instruments here: electric, acoustic and bass guitars, keyboards and percussion. Old mate Bill Cooley of Cooley-Munson fame shows up to collaborate on the song 'The Road Goes On'. CD has an 8-page booklet with lyrics."

Title:	First Light
Label:	GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	GUESS 018CD

And here's the last of the '70s works by Alan Munson. Originally released in 1979, again in small quantities, on the Parallax label in California. The First Light album doesn't easily fit into a music category box. The songs range from psych rock, to some fairly laidback folk-rock, and even a song with a country rock feel. Instruments played on the record include electric and acoustic guitars, electric bass and drums. Lead solos are all played on electric guitar; a 'clean' sound on the acoustic based songs and guitar effects were used on the psych rock songs. Strong lead vocals and background harmony vocals, all-in-all making another excellent album as result. This reissue includes one unreleased bonus track and is remastered from the original tapes. First time ever reissue. The CD comes with a booklet, and outer carton slimcase.

Title:	Good Morning World
Label:	GUERSSEN RECORDS (SPAIN)
Format:	CD
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	GUESS 019CD

Alan Munson, the songwriter of the Cooley-Munson duo, continued the folk-rock way. It took him some time, but in 1975 he was ready for what is his best '70s work. Incredibly, Good Morning World was only released in cassette, and in a limited run, so no one heard it at the time. Good Morning World includes nine original, acoustic based songs with a mellow psych and folk rock sound across this album. Meaningful and understandable lyrics, delivered by "close-up" lead vocals, and background harmony vocals. Instruments played on the album include 6-string acoustic guitar, 12-string acoustic guitar, electric bass and percussion. Song arrangements include multiple guitar harmony lead solos and fills. Includes a booklet with info and notes; housed in outer carton slipcase.
