Babylon

In the spirit of Prince’s “The Truth” and Nirvana’s “MTV Unplugged,” Thomas strips down for seven songs inspired by bombs over Baghdad and the birth of a baby girl. Recorded live to tape on a Sunday in August at Silvertone Studios in Saratoga Springs. With Bryan Thomas (vox and guitar) Matthew Loiacono (drums) and Bob Buckley (bass), on loan from Albany punk bluegrass quartet Kamikaze Hearts. The album made the 2004 Top Ten lists of Greg Haymes (Times Union), John Brodeur (Metroland) and J. Eric Smith (Village Voice Paz and Jop).
