“Talkin’ to Myself”/“Love for Glory”

Dark Hollow’s 2010 CD Shadow of the Sun was the last album by the band to feature all original music. It blended together an array of genres from rock, jazz and folk to blues, psychedelic and country and expanded the musical palette with the addition of horns as well as vibraphone and pedal steel guitar. Below are two tracks from the album.

“Talkin’ to Myself” has one of the more stripped-down arrangements on Shadow of the Sun, featuring acoustic guitar, electric bass, drums, and vibes as backing for the vocals, all performed by Joe Bocchetti and me. It’s a somewhat eccentric take on the age-old tale of unrequited love and what it can do to you. Copyright: Farinaccio 2005

Talkin’ to Myself

“Love for Glory” uses a standard blues structure and lyrically offers all the wrong reasons for falling in love. Written by Jerry Gormley and myself, the song had originally been recorded for and released on Dark Hollow’s first album in an acoustic version. The Shadow of the Sun rendition transformed it into a straight-ahead rocker. The track features Mike Spina, Joe Bocchetti and me. Copyright: Farinaccio, Gormley 1996
