Reviews

"In this exciting new venture, Curtis Brand gives us music which both reflects and celebrates life. From the whimsical light hearted melody of the title track to the haunting sound of 'Dust on the Water', Curtis is talking about real life: its pain, its joy, its comic side, its haunting injustice.  I love this recording."

Post a review of Older Than Dirt on the Blog

Indie singer/songwriter with the emphasis on indie

I'm  the sort of guy who likes to shop local, even if the price is higher.  I still feel guilty that I bought my Gibson at Guitar Center, even though I got a great guitar at an unbeatable price.  I copyright my own songs and refuse to license them to the performance rights organizations.  Other performers who want to play my music in small venues or at benefit concerts can as long as they attribute the song to me.  Those wanting to record a song or perform it at a large, for profit concert should contact me directly for permission.

Maybe I am older than dirt, stuck in recollections of times past, but I worry for our fine land.  I fear that we are being big boxed, Walmarted, and McDonalized into disconnected souls, doomed to wander with strangers among aisles of stuff we really don't need, produced in China while our neighbors lose their jobs.

Looking for the great gift for the geezer, developing geezer, or pre-geezer in your life?  “Older than Dirt”, a collection of songs written and performed by Curtis Brand and recorded on vintage analog equipment at Dirt Floor Records (we’re talking two inch tape here), may be just what you’re looking for.  The title track offers hilarious birthday greetings for someone entering over the hill territory (as a point of reference, AARP starts sending out literature to Americans approaching their 50^th birthday), and touches on other aging issues like gray haired love and 50^th reunions.

 Boris of WRTC FM’s The Boris Rock Show writes:  “OLDER THAN DIRT, Curtis' new album could have been subtitled" Interesting philosophy for aging baby boomers". His take on the aging process is at times uplifting and spiritual without being too preachy. Lyrics such as "instead of driving to Niagara, it’s prune juice and Viagra" are both funny and realistic at the same time.  Recommended without reservation.”

The "Older than Dirt" CD should be ready to ship by November 23rd.  Order before Thanksgiving and I will add a  personal thank you to your order.
