CD Releases

  Insomniac Dreams - Released December 17, 2005. Even though this is actually my second lyrical song CD release, I consider this to be my debut album, since the previous release was for a special event. This one contains 14 songs, some of which are different versions of the same songs on the previous release, and can be purchased through CD Baby distribution and Tower Records with a credit card. Click on the picture of the CD and you can listen to 2-minute clips of each song in a low quality format for listening purposes only. The CD contains all CD quality versions of each song.
