Work We Do Sounds We Hear Delivers "Pop-Folk Gems"

Called, "a fine collection of... pop-folk gems" that "deserves to be celebrated, or at least given a spin" by Richard Milne of Chicago’s WXRT, Brian Anderson’s solo debut, Work We Do Sounds We Hear, is an independent recording in the best sense of the term, an album combining superb songcraft with a singular, compelling musical vision. Fueled by Anderson’s distinctive piano and guitar work, and supported by a diverse cast of Chicago musicians, the 11 tracks on Work We Do Sound We Hear transcend labels and genres while remaining both accessible and memorable.

Brian Anderson’s songs have been recorded by a number of artists (among them David Wilcox and The Otters) and he has performed in many of Chicago’s top clubs and at several East Coast folk festivals.

News & Notes:

If hits to this site are any indication, Brian Anderson's appearance on WXRT's Local Anesthetic show Sunday, April 21 was a big hit. Host Richard Milne talked to Brian about his excellent CD, Work We Do Sounds We Hear, his inspiration and why the heck he's not better known (damn good question, Richard).

Lost in America Music's own Big Breakfast and Brian Anderson were featured on the Chicago TV show "HoundDog Rootin' Revival" in May. Missed it? For those with the Real Player, performance clips and interviews are available here.
