Outside the Music Box (Bob McCarroll)

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki

Outside the Music Box[edit]

Outside the Music Box is Bob McCarroll's 11th studio recording project. Continuing within the "alternative" musical style of Down in the City and Vehicles, Outside the Music Box has Bob presenting 13 new and original song compositions. While primarily and musically residing in the "alternative" genre, this project also sees Bob stretching his musical chops with several of the songs delving (back) into the jazz vocal ballad category - as he does in When Skies Are Blue and the lullaby ballad he wrote for his new (and first) granddaughter, When You Close Your Eyes - which he offers in two styles: track 11 features Nicole Pesce playing piano on the track while track 14 offers a more folky version and feel - including mandolin.

Bob also offers us a more tongue-in-cheek style of writing with his That Perfect Place and Did I Get the Day Right?. "Did I Get The Day Right," tells the story of a person showing up for discrete hotel rendezvous only to be stood up. Overall, this project offers a more sensitive side to Bob's musical compositions with many of the songs falling within the "ballad" category - as in If I Could and Take Your Love featuring the wonderful violin playing of Suzanne Lansford.
