Singer/songwriter/pianist Micah Sheveloff released his debut
solo album, “Exhibitionist” back on August 27. The album was recorded at New
Haven’s Firehouse 12 which was the perfect location to capture his 9-foot concert Steinway
piano and his vintage Hammond B3 organ. The entire album was recorded to 2-inch
tape without using today’s latest technology to achieve a more live, “in the
studio” sound.
The album begins with
a classic, blues piano led by Micah’s mellow vocals on “Tumble.” He
follows the same path on “Stand Me Up,” but adds a bit more passion into his
vocals, giving his voice a more raspy sound. At times, his voice also reflects
an older Ray Davies of The Kinks as in the ballad “Barren Man” and the
storytelling of “Baltimore.” The album closes with Micah performing a slow,
piano version of Black Sabbath’s “Heaven And Hell” and a duet of Cheap Trick’s “Heaven
Tonight” featuring Boston singer Rick Berlin.
