NEW ROADS – Alan Haynes –
Alan’s debut CD is filled with heart, from the heart of Americana. Alan’s voice goes to your soul and he becomes your best friend halfway into the first cut.
Listening to the opening strains of “Three Shadows”, you may think you accidentally put in a Bob Dylan CD. Alan has a very acoustic grass roots sound that makes you feel you are in the room with him. “Tiny Little Seed” is a fun bouncy affirmation of faith. There are topics of family, friends, lovers, God, faith, personal transformation and a touching post mortem birthday song to his mother. This CD and songbook are a great combination for an acoustic – based music team. Companion songbook of lead lines, words and chords.

"New Roads" CD Review

"I took your CD to Chicago this past weekend and just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it..... a lot of powerful material in there."-

"New Roads" CD Review:

Ever reach for a CD in a moment when you're feeling sort of lost? I found Alan Haynes' first cd in just such a moment, and felt, as many friends have told me they felt, too, that he was singing me "hope." His songs offer wise reflection and gentle assurance for the traveler. His music is sure and sincere, and the lyrics are good company on the Path--not "religious," but powerfully spiritual. We listen to so many CD's "one song at a time," and may tend to favor one or two in an entire collection. But every song on Alan's CD is integral to the soul's journey, and we listen to it in entirety, over and over. Every one is a "keeper," and every one takes us on "New Roads" that we know we will long to travel again and again.

"Back In Vietnam"
Single Release

Important work. We need these lyrics and music!
Reviewer: Vietnam activist survivor
Absolutely great music. For those of us who have "been, there, done that, got the T-shirt" being able to have this music not only soothes our, "oh-no-I-hate-being-right-about-this-being-another-Vietnam" feelings, but it IS a rallying kind of song MUCH LIKE Country Joe and the Fish and GIVES PERMISSION TO SAY ALOUD AND TO EACH OTHER WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID ABOUT BRINGING OUR TROOPS HOME NOW!!!!!!!!!!
