UPDATE JANUARY, 29 2008
Al's new album "Love Songs" is in-stores now.
Here's a note from Al about the album:
" Whenever someone asks me if I sing to Susan (they ask her too), I put this far away dreamy look on my face and sing a very soft quiet "oh…", that gradually gets louder until it becomes "Ooooklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plain…" not very romantic huh?! That’s when they shake their heads and mumble something about “crazy” and in a moment they start to snicker, and pretty soon we’re both laughing real hard. If it’s not romantic, it sure is silly & fun.
The danger is being too syruppy, sappy, mushy and boring. Or the risk of all the above, here's a bunch of my favorite love songs."
