About the Artist
Alexander Wilson is a 24-year old singer/songwriter from Bath, OH. His songs have appeared in original musical theatre productions, worship services, comedic performances, and talent shows, including cash-prize wins for his own performances of "Crack" and "Underwear."
Product Description
An atypical debut release, Confounds The Breather samples the scope of Wilson's work, from the introspective to the humorous to the holy and sometimes all three in the same song! Three spoken-word pieces are also included on the album, delivering Confounds The Breather as an almost CD-chapbook by a fresh voice in literary as well as music communities. Guitarist Marc Mellion also appears on the album.
". . . But it confounds the breather. He should have liv'd,
Save that his riotous youth, with dangerous sense,
Might in the times to come have ta'en revenge,
By so receiving a dishonour'd life
With ransom of such shame. Would yet he had liv'd!
Alack, when once our grace we have forgot,
Nothing goes right; we would, and we would not."
--from Wild Bill Shakespeare's Measure For Measure

Customer Reviews:
...but Not the Listener.......2001-11-02
Highlights:
Crack: "I bet you wish you never kicked me between the thighs (darlin' that makes two of us)," bitter, over-the-top funny, litany of love gone wrong.
Underwear: Melodic sorrowful song of lost love whose lyrics of the mundane effects of broken-heartedness drift into the comically disgusting; would go over big in a boys' dorm.
Better not: Maybe my favorite song on the whole CD; warm and romantic and yearning; just a lovely song.
An eclectic mix.......2001-01-22
