Sprouting from the San Fernando Valley of Southern California
like SuPrimo medicinal weed from a field of tall grass comes the band, "Sky
King," telling through song their personal tales of the human
condition..... Living, Loving and Losing!
Morose Tales From The Left Coast contains thirteen
original tracks, enhanced by an eight-page booklet and separate lyric sheet for
all the songs (tracks listed below). All songs on Morose... are written and sung
by tall, lanky, lead guitarist, Walter Morosko, accompanied by another tall,
lanky rhythm guitarist and life-long friend, Garth Farkas, both originally from
the Mid-Western city and state of Youngstown, Ohio. "I would like people to walk
away feeling like they weren't the only ones that had those emotions," explains
Morosko. "I really want people to connect with the songs and I want to connect
with people when Sky King plays (out live) - like we are one big family, that
this is really something."
Well-traveled and highly experienced bass player and vocalist,
Larry "Fuzzy" Knight, a native of St. Louis, Missouri has been firmly implanted
into the concrete and soil of Los Angeles since 1969. Formerly a member of the
legendary rock group, "Spirit", Fuzzy also arranged and produced "Morose Tales
From The Left Coast." Fuzzy's vast experience and musical history reflects his
myriad influences and reads like a who's who of blues and rock legends that he
has worked, toured and/or recorded with: Albert King, Little Milton, Chuck
Berry, Ike Turner, Albert Collins, Delaney, Bonnie & Friends, Jefferson
Airplane's Grunt Records, Peter Kaukonen's "Black Kangaroo," and, of course
"Spirit." Fuzzy has also been the front-man for one of Los Angeles' best known
Rhythm and Blues Bands over the last 18 years, Blowin' Smoke. "When Sky King
perform in concert we are going to reproduce the album as it was recorded," says
Knight. "The show is going to have to be as good as the music that was created.
We're going to reproduce it with power!"
"Sky King" is accompanied on the CD by its alter ego band
comprised of their musician friends, all who are pro recording and touring
artists. It's our pleasure to introduce to you...
"Spirits Rebellious" (Lee Thornberg - Trumpet, Valve Trombone; Jimmy "Z" -
Saxophones, Flute, Harmonica; John "JT" Thomas - Keyboards; Chris Ross - Drums).
Together, they fulfill Walter's desire to bring his songs or as he describes
them, "Morose Tales From The Left Coast," to life! Disillusionment, heartbreak,
frustration, loss and, of course, never-ending hope define years of paying dues
in the paradise and often-peculiar world of Southern California. It took many
years of playing in Left Coast nightclubs, while having to work the proverbial
"9 to 5" day job, just to barely get by. All the while, continually
concentrating on turning a musical dream into a musical reality by using their
alchemic wiles to accomplish that realization. Sound
familiar?

So whether you're a musician, an
artist or a creative everyday person, we believe that you know what we're
talking about.......never giving up your dream, another trait of the human
condition. We hope you'll get as much pleasure listening to "Sky King" as we did
in creating our music for you.
