Cheap Love Songs Issa Ibrahim 2013 music CD- Limited Edition, limited quantities collector’s item UPC 888174253169
A song cycle and concept album inspired by and dedicated to a long lost someone and a doomed love affair.
This album definitely signals a turning of the corner for me. I'd done 4 CDs recorded in tiny rooms in halfway houses on Creedmoor grounds, had grown comfortable with the process and this is the last album recorded in that environment and probably the best that I could do at that time. Many of these songs are among my best. I was truly inspired and wanted to impress the object of my affection with a personalized "love" album on Christmas Day. I did not get the reaction I was hoping for, the person becoming embarrassed and slamming the whole project and effectively shutting me down. While this affair limped along for another year afterwards I knew I would be returning to my long-time muse and one true love...if she'd take me back. She did and I'm a lucky man for it. Still, I'm proud of this album and how well it holds together.
Recorded in a halfway house on the grounds of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center.
