Terrifying Lies
Tony Mecca
Terrifying lies explores the pain and guilt that haunts us when lies and deceit become a common practice. "You learn to turn your back on all the sin."
The Dark Side of Love
Tony Mecca
The Dark Side of Love is a place we visit when a relationship that seemed so strong suddenly turns very fragile, and the heartache that comes with the possibility of losing what was the most important part of our life becomes real.
"The long awaited new album from Philly songster Tony Mecca has finally arrived. And just in time to attempt saving our pompous and ego driven society with a cold shot of humility and pure passion. With repeated listens, this new song cycle blossoms into a wondrous and majestic mother tree of revealing introspection, romantic intrigue and further exploration into the joy and tragedy of "The Human Drill." Via tender metaphor (Two Trees & Corridors) and hilarious tongue-in-cheek body-shots (The Farmer & I Ain't That Stupid Anymore), Heavy Mental Gypsies provides further evidence that Mecca is a master storyteller and street philosopher, who also delivers impassioned performances and unrelenting hooks at every turn and stop-light of his beautiful city landscape. Very highly recommended!" (CDBaby)

Eleanor Rigby
Tony Mecca
The Beatles melancholy 1966 hit, "Eleanor Rigby", is the newest in a series of "Single Song Downloads."
CDBaby says ... "Covering a Beatles song can be risky business, but Tony Mecca's arrangement, performance and production is gracefully quirky and dark while maintaining its reverence; and Stephanie Davis' amazing lead vocal is simultaneously commanding and sympathetic."
Riders on the Storm
Tony Mecca
The Doors classic "Riders On The Storm" is the first in a series of recordings that Tony Mecca will release as a "Single" in the future.
CDBaby says ... "This unique and haunting reading maintains a close kinship with the original version while managing to sound, well, quite different.
The brand new FUN album is finally here! And we just can't wait until you hear it because we know that it will absolutely "CRACK YOU UP" - Oh, we're sure you'll be swept off your feet by the beautiful atmospheric caress of Sweet Sunshine and the touching Mercy Street, but fun will dictate the majority of the proceedings. And while you're being enchanted by Witch Jenny; dancing your troubles away to The Happy Hop and celebrating the world of "Whining Idiots" in Black Cloud, you can also be thinking of the money you'll save for purchasing multiple copies of FUN for you and your loved ones."

"The new long-playing CD (70+ minutes of music) adds 22 new chapters of "intelligent/pop" to the Tony Mecca songbook, and offers an eclectic extension of the musical forms explored on "PURPLE MONKEYS" and "PRINCES OF THE NEW DARK AGE" without disturbing the integrity of the storytelling based blueprint established on those albums. This special deluxe edition features a fully illustrated 16 page lyric booklet that is augmented by the stirring imagery of Philadelphia Art Photographer E.C. "Ted" Adams."
