I'm very pleased to say
that this CD won me a Gold Artist Award at RadioIndy and
also a GrIndie Award.
Original Notes:
Nothing like a little closure. OK, so it’s not
that heavy but it feels good to say that, yes, these are
the final mixes and I’m ready to go all out on the 24
track from here on in. So this CD was mainly
put together for sale at CD Baby - just in time for the
Holidays.
Track 1 - Pulled Over
The second song from
The Spy Is The Limit, one of two
concept albums I did. This was the point in the story
where I was speeding to my new mission and got pulled
over by a lovely female officer. Needless to say, I got
off….without a ticket.
Track 2 -
The Case of the Missing Finger**
Again, from
The Spy Is The Limit. This was almost the
title of the album but I thought it would be a bit much. One of my luckier guitar solos too.
Track 3 -
Esther’s In Town**
When I started putting together CDs for
The
Store,
Landing Strip ended up being the album that everything
else I wanted to keep got put on, but chronologically
this was done a couple of months after
The Spy Is The Limit. It’s just a fun song about that time of
month.
Track 4 -
Landing Strip*
From Landing Strip. Heavily debted to James Gang’s
Funk #49 and Deep Purple’s Rat Bat Blue. I think
it was going to start out as a Stewardess song but I’ll
take what came out.
Track 5 - Nice Piece
From Landing Strip. Just a quick ditty about that time I
went to a restaurant.
Track 6 -
Knocked Up
From Coffee Stains. Not a true story…for me
anyways.
Track 7 - Enjoying The View
From
I’ll Spy Anything Twice. The riff is
basically Tommy Bolin’s Homeward Strut. The song
starts off my second Spy mission.
Track 8 -
Nuts*
From
I’ll Spy Anything Twice. Always have some
sort of nourishment around, especially when guests are
present.
Track 9 - Line Of Credit
From the deleted Sticks It Out album. It’s about
that time I went to the bank. When I started
The
Store, I put this song on
I’ll Spy Anything Twice.
It still fit within the story.
Track 10 - Things Work Out
From Sticks It Out but wound up on
Landing Strip.
One of my personal favourites. A big debt to
Fleetwood Mac on this one.
Track 11 -
Nice Shoes**
From Lays Back. Just a song about something that
rhymes with “shoes”.
Track 12 - Lay Back
From Lays Back. The Robin Trower influence is
obvious but this was actually inspired by Buddy Guy’s
cover of Issac Hayes’ Do Your Thing.

"Will Work for Money" by Gregg Koval is a
fun collection of rock songs. Gregg's clever
lyrical plays on words had us laughing
throughout the CD. The combination of these
clever lyrics and Gregg's knack for writing
memorable choruses, will leave you with some
repeatingly funny themes in your mind after
listening to this CD - Go ahead, grab a handful
and help yourself to these tracks. The music on
the CD is solid as well, especially the guitar
playing. "Knocked Up" was one of our favorites,
with a catchy upbeat groove and a memorable
chorus that had us cracking up. There's even
some financial advise on the CD, with "Line of
Credit." If you're looking to lighten up your
day with some good tunes and good laughs, check
out this CD. (Mature Themes).
