Synopsis

Product Description

Joel Mercado-See's debut album "HITCHHIKER'S PARADISE" is piano rock at its finest. Biting wit and earnestness make for beautifully un-Disneyfied lyrics. Joel's finger's suffle through the octaves effortlessly setting the mood for songs with atypical subjects like battling stereotypes, the hero complex, and streetcorners. Songs like the title track and "Lay Down and Die" show off a powerfully honest, unaffected voice with tonal and emotional range. Fans of piano rockers like Ben Folds, Elton John, and Gavin DeGraw are sure to enjoy this album wholeheartedly.

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Hitchhiker's Paradise is Joel Mercado-See's first CD release but it will surely not be his last. He is a vibrant and talented performer and he'll actually talk to you and sign his autograph not because he has to for business but because he really likes people. His keyboard skills are unique yet have a hint of so many performers of fame. All of the songs on this CD are good but I tend to favor 'Jonathan' (like a ballad) and 'Leave Me Alone'. 'Hitchhiker's Paradise' is outstanding and 'Please Don't Call Me Kung Foo' is quite funny, especially when I heard why he wrote that song. I certainly recommend this CD and if you ever get the chance, see him live. I have seen him in Houston, Texas a few times and he will be touring around the USA in July and August of 2006.
