| Tax-Time Party Songs Ruby Tunes LLC announced the release of "Taxpayer Blues, " a CD collection of original - yet comfortably familiar - songs designed to make the American taxpayer smile even as the IRS makes him scowl. The CD features a wide range of musical genres - from blues and country to choral music, as well as a polka and easy-listening standards. Taxpayer Blues is designed as a fun holiday gift for anyone involved in the all-too-serious worlds of accounting, finance, and investing - or, for that matter, anyone who looks forward to April 15 with the kind of zeal usually reserved for a root canal. "A lot of people believe the American tax system is laughable, " says Ruby Tunes LLC President, Phil Fragasso. "At Ruby Tunes, we happen to think it's just plain funny. So we created Taxpayer Blues to give people the opportunity to snap their fingers and tap their toes while singing about arcane mysteries like the AMT and 529 plans." Taxpayer Blues features eight songs that poke a little fun at the American tax system: "I Ain't Got No Money, " "My Tax Return the Fanciful, " "Battle Hymn of the Taxpayer, " "The IRS Audited Me and Ran Off With My Wife, " "The Taxpayer's Polka, " "When Uncle Sam Is Smiling, " "Heck, My Accountant Said To Me, " and "Taxpayer Blues." All songs are performed by Ruby Tunes, a collection of Boston's finest vocalists and studio musicians. Vocalists include national recording artist, Red Peters, as well as Gigi Abraham, Patty Barkas, John Corcoran, Kook Lawry, Brian Maes, and Paul Soares. All music is performed by John Corcoran, Ed Grenga, and Kook Lawry. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
