Synopsis

Showcasing a stripped-down acoustic sound, American Boy features Alexander’s warm vocals, unique guitar styling and distinctive songwriting. The disc contains several stand-out selections, including “Another Name in the Stone”, a powerful ballad about loss and redemption; the melancholy “Old Love of Mine”; the crystalline finger picking of the traditional song, “My Creole Belle”; the riveting “White Crystals of Snow” and the title track, co-written with Elaine Wilson-Alexander, “American Boy”, an ode to the loss of identity in contemporary America.

Critical Acclaim

“Alexander was part of the explosive folk-music scene in Cambridge, Mass at the end of the ‘60s and later became a staple of Boston’s coffeehouses. His CD “American Boy’ offers the breath of fresh air we often search for in our album collections but rarely find”
Mark Price, music critic, Charlotte Observer

 “Formidable talents in all three areas of singing, writing and guitar playing” Bob Ruggiero, Savannah Good Times

“A welcome surprise” Dirty Linen

“Alexander has a talent for imagery…his voice is expressive, his command of form impressive” Carlo Wolff, Free Lance Writer, Billboard Magazine

“The qualities that earned Creative Loafing raves for Alexander’s ’87 album are still in evidence on the new one: romanticism, snappy melodies in a pop/folk setting, a clear vision and a good heart” John Grooms, Editor, Creative Loafing

Synopsis
This album was recorded at Reflection Sound Studio in Charlotte, NC (where REM, Don Dixon and Marty Jones have recorded), produced by famed engineer-producer Steve Haigler and features a crisp country-rock sound. With nine original songs and one standout cover song, the classic Johnny Mercer song I Remember You, the record showcases Alexander’s vocal style and melodic songwriting talent. Featuring such gifted back up musicians as side man David Johnson, keyboard master Richard Putnam and electric guitarist and bassman Jaimie Hoover (of the Spongetones), this record sizzles with musicality. The recording received rave reviews from John Grooms, editor of Creative Loafing.
