"Dangerous Times", "Don't Try To Tell Me" and "Bad Attitude" are all from Reverend Zen's debut cd Angels, Blues & the Crying Moon. The release has brought the band five Runner Up Awards, along with a Finalist Award from the 2006 VH1 Song of the Year Contest for "Dangerous Times" (AC/AAA Category). In the 2007 Unisong International Song Contest the group received two Finalist Awards for "Bad Attitude" (Blues Category) and "Magdalena" (Lyric Category). "We believe in what Reverend Zen and their music is all about.", states Joyce Marie Morrin, Promotions Director of AAA station WRRW 100.7FM in Williamsburg, Va. Music Director Eric Cohen of Jazz and Blues formatted WAER 88.3FM in Syracuse, N.Y. adds, "Reverend Zen's Angels, Blues & the Crying Moon is an amazing album with cross over appeal and some incredible musicians to boot." John Schoenberger of Billboard's Radio and Records in Los Angeles summarizes, "Reverend Zen's Angels, Blues and the Crying Moon is simply a very good record and should impact AAA radio." All songs on Angels, Blues and the Crying Moon were written by Reverend Zen bandleader Jack Evans, a 2007 ASCAP Plus Award winner, and his co writer James Gerard. The cd features a group of musicians who've performed with Donald Fagen, Sting, Annie Lennox, John Scofield, Elvis Costello, David Sanborn, Shawn Colvin, B.B. King, John Mayer and Bruce Springsteen.
