Anthony D'Amato is a singer-songwriter from Blairstown, New Jersey that I've known for many years. In fact, he used to write for my website and Upstage Magazine as a teenager! He's gone on to become one of my favorite artists - both as a solo artist and as a member of Fantastic Cat.
Sadly, this album is not available online, but I was able to find a couple tracks performed live.
This album came in at #17 in my list of Top 100 Albums by New Jersey Artists from 2001-2010. It's worth tracking down.
I interviewed Anthony in 2014 and that interview is available here.
