Singer/Songwriter Connects Original Music to the Art of Norman Rockwell

Tragic Poet Records, with offices in Connecticut and New York City, is pleased to announce the CD release of "All the Colors of the World", Music Inspired By the Paintings of Norman Rockwell by Steve Vozzolo. www.stevevozzolo.com

From the opening song of this album you will know you are hearing something very special. This concept album has it's own unique identity. The high quality songwriting and musical performances "connect" with the paintings of America's most beloved artist, Norman Rockwell, in a magical way. Every time you listen you will discover a new favorite song.

Steve Vozzolo, a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter, has captured the spirit of Norman Rockwell's paintings and produced an "Adult Contemporary" album that will stand on its own for years to come. This CD is destined to become a classic.

The CD includes a beautifully designed, full color, 12 page booklet with song lyrics and images of 21 Norman Rockwell paintings.

World class studio musicians are featured on the CD: Jeff Pevar (CPR/Crosby, Stills & Nash/James Taylor/Ray Charles, etc.) arranged some of the music and plays electric guitar and much more. Leah Kunkel (James Taylor/Art Garfunkel/Coyote Sisters/Leah Kunkel is Mama Cass' sister!!) sings backing vocal on track one. Bill Holloman (Nile Rogers/The Gatlin Brothers) plays horns and wrote all the horn and vocal arrangements. All of the studio musicians and backing vocal singers have enhanced the recording with top quality performances.

Arlo Guthrie had previously recorded one of the songs, "Norman Always Knew", on his label Rising Son Records.

Tragic Poet Records has reached an agreement for distribution on the internet through www.itsaboutmusic.com , the web's first Internet-Only Music Label and is also seeking national distribution through traditional marketing channels.

Tragic Poets Records has also announced that there are plans, in the early stages, to co-produce a live,
multi-media stage show including the music from the CD, "All the Colors of the World". The plan includes an original script, a narrator, actors and a video presentation of Rockwell's paintings reproduced on a giant screen. A spokesman from Tragic Poet Records said, "We envision the Norman Rockwell images morphing into scenes of people in real life settings, nature scenes, various places of interest, and also including poignant historical footage relevant to the world today. Besides the live theatrical presentation, the production ideas include producing a very evocative and creative video with the music as part of the sound track. The production, as conceptualized, would be effective and appropriate for PBS as well as for the production of a commercially marketed DVD".

Tragic Poet Records has also announced that there are plans, in the early stages, to co-publish a Norman Rockwell art book to be marketed as a "companion" with the CD, "All the Colors of the World", Music Inspired
By the Paintings of Norman Rockwell by Steve Vozzolo. Steve Vozzolo's music can be sampled at: http://www.stevevozzolo.com/index.html
