A milkman who spawned 500 children that all met one day and formed Los Angeles ???? Now that sounds like a party. If you ever thought your parents were not really your parents this might be the record for you. From its Sgt. Pepper-ish opening anthem, to its wild-eyed rock-a-billy and hard rock excursions. The Children of the Milkman, is great, thought provoking entertainment. Every song has a story, and every story is about 3 layers deep and colored with lots of humor and sentiment. Born out of the death and disintegration of his own family Children marks a truly great lyricist who has definitely hit his stride.
"I've got every disease known to man
Waiting patiently inside me
To surprise me, when I least expect it."
Abraham Cloud's last excursion: 1998's "Voyage To Afghanistan" I seemed to predict the next American war. God knows what this one might predict.
