Dave Caruso - Cardboard Vegas Roundabout

Cardboard Vegas Roundabout is Dave Caruso's latest tour de force and the followup to his 2004 release, Elizabeth Parker. The 10-song album packs an alt-pop power punch, along with some jangly pop, lushly orchestrated symphonic rock, summer sunshine pop, a rockin' lullabye, some pop soul, and an uplifting gospel eulogy. It's just the kind of smart, melodic songwriting you've come to expect from Dave Caruso, exploring topics of love, loss, friendship, identity, home, and the perils of social media, with signposts to Elvis Costello, David Bowie, R.E.M., Brian Wilson, The Beatles, The Hollies and Johannes Brahms. Dave wrote, arranged, produced, sang a ton of vocals, and played most of the instruments. This special deluxe edition contains 12 additional bonus tracks which include alternate versions, special mixes and demos, offering a revealing glimpse into the writing and recording process.
