The Imposter (album)
''The Imposter'' is the second full-length album by American singer-songwriter Kevin Max and was released on October 11, 2005 on Northern Records. The title and overall themes of the album draw inspiration from the writings of theologian (and friend of Max's) Brennan Manning, particularly Manning's books ''Ragamuffin Gospel'' and ''Abba's Child''. The title track, according to Max, concerns "the fight between the flesh and the spirit." ''The Imposters musical textures are different from those found on '' Stereotype Be''. Gone are the Middle Eastern musical influences in favor of a mixture of ballads and faster rock songs with more pronounced classic rock and blues influences. The album's lyrics are also more straightforward than those on '' Stereotype Be'' and, perhaps in keeping with a simpler feel, no spoken-word segments are on ''The Imposter'', although there is a reading that opens "Fade to Red." Songs from ''The Imposter'' album were used in a movie Kevin Max starred in als ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
