Simple, well-crafted, captivating and memorable original tunes from a gifted songwriter, social commentator, and master storyteller - decades in the making - with a distinct approach to the singer/songwriter tradition that is at once retro and original. Influenced by country, folk and rock, the resulting songs are true Americana, and timely with the resurgence and growing popularity of this true American art form. At age 19, with guitar in hand, Virgil came to Los Angeles with dreams of rock stardom. Four decades later - with a lifetime involvement and successful career in the field of art - Virgil's self-titled album of all original songs is a celebration of his 60th birthday. What started as a quiet project with Virgil and his guitar in the tradition of so many other singer-songwriters that came before, grew and transformed into a truly rockin' taste of Americana with the collaboration of master guitarist Ken Emerson taking us on a road trip across the country with references to classic guitarists from San Francisco, Tulsa, Austin, Memphis, New Orleans and Chicago.
