Praise for Ghosts Before Breakfast

Rob returned to Hear and Now to talk with host Robin Young about Ghosts Before Breakfast and much more. Listen to the interview here.
WBUR, Boston’s NPR News Affilliate, HERE AND NOW program distributed nationwide via PRI (Public Radio International):

Respected critics weighed in with early raves for ‘Ghosts Before Breakfast.’ In her USA TODAY Listen Up Music Pick, Elysa Gardner highlighted the mournful song “Cobblestones,” praising it as an “exquisitely plaintive postcard from a lonely foreigner”

Noted Philadelphia rock critic Jon Takiff wrote:
“His are songs that aim high, that might evoke the mind-set of a Dalton Trumbo or last thoughts of Henry James, put words to the images of surreal silent-film pioneer Hans Richter or ponder the cross dressing Swedish Queen Christina. It’s storytelling song craft that seasoned music critics compare favorably to the eccentric best of Randy Newman, Warren Zevon, Loudon Wainwright, Harry Nilsson, Gary Brooker (Procol Harum), Tom Waits and Steely Dan’s Donald Fagen.”  Read the full review.

“Morsberger is a distinctive and brilliant pop songwriter, and “Ghosts Before Breakfast” is a clever, wise, sad and gorgeously insightful album of meditations on mortality and loss.”  Read the review, from music critic Rick Koster.  Then read the full interview that ran a few days later: http://www.theday.com/article/20120529/ENT10/305299997/1044

“Morsberger animates these songs with a nervy intellect, sounding at times as angry and gruff as Tom Waits, then as absurdly prescient as Randy Newman and then as darkly solipsistic as Bob Dylan.”-Nick DeRiso

Editor’s Preview Pick in THE BOSTON GLOBE

WILDYSWORLD – CD REVIEW: “Rob Morsberger has always had a talent for writing deep-yet quirky pop/rock songs.  His 2010 release, The Chronicle Of A Literal Man, was a musical breath of fresh air bursting upon a world of jaded pop.  Morsberger’s most recent work, Ghost Before Breakfast, takes a darker yet no less enigmatic turn.”-Jack Goodstein.
