Cracked Open

“How come my heart feels cracked open...”  There’s no wonder why Arthur Lee Land’s 4th album Cracked Open, offers an exciting invitation for the musically adventurous to discover a boundless, transcendent world.  Arthur’s groundbreaking style is driven by the integration of sophisticated musical, emotional and spiritual juxtapositions. It’s been said; “Every one of these songs sticks to your soul….” 

Whether it’s our own world or the world at large falling apart around us, Cracked Open speaks of the suffering and the transformation that is taking place in these times of uncertainty. Ironically for Arthur, shortly after finishing the album, it was losing his voice completely, finding a polyp on his vocal cord (and the miraculous healing without surgery 6 months later), relocating back to Colorado and then being diagnosed with Graves (Hyperthyroid) Disease that forced him to wait almost two years to finally release this album. Those experiences ultimately became a test of faith that “cracked him open deeply” and in the end strengthened him as a person and an artist.

The veteran singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and unforgettable Loop Artist will release his new 10 song album Cracked Open, May 14, 2013 on Perfect Groove Records.  With 4 music videos already complete, the Cracked Open DVD, scheduled for a fall 2013 release, will give fans all 10 music videos, produced by the cutting edge talent of “Xiren”.   

Musically speaking, Electro-Americana may best describe Arthur Lee Land’s eclectic fusion of folk-rock, worldbeat/bluegrass and electronica, but cannot fully explain the unique dynamics at work when Arthur enters the studio or takes the stage. Arthur’s intuitive collaboration with his lyricist/wife Carol Lee is an integral part of the artistic landscape of Arthur Lee Land …. ”How come my heart feels so cracked open / When the love is running deep / Someday we all will cross over / Maybe right now is all we’ll ever be.”
