Arlan Feiles
"Weeds Kill The Wild Flowers"

Released in 2012

Arlan Feiles is a singer-songwriter based in New Jersey. He is one of the most talented songwriters I know . I'll never forget the first time I finally played a CD of his that was sent to my online radio station.  The album simply blew me away.  As did just about every release that followed. His albums are ones I always look forward to.

Years before moving to New Jersey, Arlan was in a band called Natural Causes.

This album has Arlan in fine form from his songwriting to the vocals.  If you've never heard anything by him, this is as good a place as any to start.

I first interviewed Arlan Feiles in 2005 for Upstage Magazine. That interview can be found here.

In 2016, I interviewed him as he was about to record a live album. That feature can be found here.
