Mike Surratt has long maintained that the accordion, when played correctly, can enhance and improve the performance of practically any type of music. Herein, he sets out to demolish all the rules or stereotypes pertaining to accordions, accordion music, and even accordion players. With this CD, Surratt successfully proves that the accordion is an incredible, beautiful instrument, capable of transcending generations, cultures and genres, as a lead instrument, and not just as an unusual accent. From the parched sands of ancient Saharan citadels, to the crashing surf parties of American beaches in the 60's, majestic victories of ancient Greece, to the lazy, hazy days of summers long gone, Surratt's nimble fingers will keep your ears spellbound in amazement. His original compositions were written specifically to celebrate his life-long passion for the accordion, and it shows. From fun and frolicking to plaintive and mournful, and all points between, the evocative sounds will haunt you from the first note to the last chord. For more information, visit www.MikeSurratt.com.
