In the tradition of indulgent 70s/80s concept albums, I made a rock opera, “Roger (Or Journey to Mars from the Styx of Kansas in an REO Speedwagon Starship)”.
In 16 genre-hopping songs, it tells the story of Roger, 42 & still living with his mom & brother Dan. He loses his job, his girlfriend, and gets kicked out of his cover band. It is then he meets the Ghost of Duane Allman who turns his van into a rocket van. Roger flies off into Space where he dates the Mars Princess, blows up the Earth, & becomes King of the Universe. NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL MUSIC!
You can listen to it completely free online but if you feel the need to purchase it, that option is also available. Support Independent Rock Operas! There’s also a video for one of the tunes featuring just myself, a parka, & my IPhone: http://youtu.be/5CnERazTZ3A
