"The Road Home" is my first solo recording. Musically and lyrically this was a very personal project for me. I followed a strong vision - right down to ideas for the artwork. I was fortunate to work with some very talented musicians. Seven of the ten songs feature Meatloaf drummer John Miceli, with NYC session ace Al Improta on bass. I sang all the lead vocals, including an emotional duet with singer/songwriter Kathy Fleischmann on 'Give Love'. Janine Innamorato & Nicole Mikoleski from the band 'Buddha Box' and Philip DeStefano also provide excellent harmonies on other songs. Rather than do a complete acoustic recording, I wanted to let the songs determine the instrumentation. This allowed me to embrace many of the electric guitar sounds I love and set them loose to color the songs and communicate what couldn't be sung.

DeStefano & McLeod - 'Coloring the Sky' 1) Coloring the Sky 2) My Love Reminds Me Sample 3) Closer 4) To Be or Not To Be 5) Domino Lady 6) Tackedy Boots Sample 7) If You Insist 8) Dreams of Angels Sample Year of Release: 1999 |

"Coloring the Sky" is a combination of vocal and instrumental pieces that Phil DeStefano & I performed in cafes, clubs, and restaurants on Long Island between 1996 & 2000. The improvisational twists and turns of these songs take the listener through jazz, blues, and folk-rock. Our songwriting at times betrays influences from Lyle Lovett to Pat Metheny, Frank Zappa to The Grateful Dead... all these aspects of our music made their way to the CD.
From JazzReview.com:
DeStefano & McLeod's COLORING THE SKY is a nice listening entry in the world music genre with its folk and jazz motifs. There are 8 original songs on the CD collection. Some of the selections include "Coloring the Sky," "My Love Reminds Me," "Closer", "Tackedy Boots," "Dreams of Angels." Each song is innovative.
This collection should find many listeners who like the unusual in world music. "Domino Lady" and "To Be Or Not To Be" will charm you with their words, and music.
"If You Insist" and "Tackedy Boots" features both men on instrumentals and showcases their individual talents on guitar and bass. This is a nice acoustic project fully realized. Entertaining.
