Rabbi and Cantor Steven Blane continues to offer his take on America with his new EP release Dancing with Angels
Rabbi and Cantor Steve Blane is a singer songwriter whose new EP release offers songs that have themes spanning alcohol, the recording inductry to the economy.
NEW YORK, June 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Dancing with the Angels" is the title track from Steven Blane's recent EP (5 song) release. It was inspired by a quote by Congressman and Civil Rights Leader Elijah Cummings whose passing affected him profoundly and is meant as a tribute to his humanity and selflessness. It is also symbolic of Blane's take on humanity and how kindness in life will ultimately serve as the great arbiter of entrance into the world to come.
The themes of each song span a wide array of topics as Blane draws his inspiration from his experience of the world around him. "Worse" is a song about depression and it's immobilizing effects framed in an uptempo musical progression. "My New Record" is a commentary on the recording business- such as it is. "The Shopping Mall" is an observation of our economy and the drastic transition that is not too subtly unfolding. "Gin Fizz" is about, well Gin Fizz.
The EP is full on Americana- just guitar, bass and fiddle. According to Singer/Songwriter Blane, "I completed the recordings, mixing and mastering pre-Pandemic. But somehow- four of the tracks seem prescient. "
