American Experience CD Synopsis: Brian Kachejian’s CD “American Experience” is a compilation of songs that observe the trials and tribulations of everyday life from the country to the city. The CD opens with an instrumental called Rochambeau Ave that invokes the musical styles of the progressive era. The melody attempts to portray the sense of the unknown that many immigrants felt upon entering the United States for the first time. The title track of the CD “American Experience” observes the history of social and economic development throughout the 20th century. The song exposes the rise of corporate power and its displacement of the mom and pop shops so evident in the American experience. Songs of love lost, faded dreams and renewed hope abound throughout the rest of the CD. Many of the songs were recorded live in the studio to invoke the passion present in the written material. There is a sense of spirit and soulfulness in the singer’s playing and voice that entraps the listener to believe in the truthfulness behind the lyrical content. Brian Kachejian’s “American Experience” is a powerful statement of life in America.
