"Such Is Life" is Kerosene Dream's
third album, a steady-rolling masterpiece of strong
harmonies and sunny-sounding songs founded upon a Byrdsian
bedrock of guitar jangle. This is a band that keeps
working and growing, and the new CD is proof that good
songwriters only get better when backed by a fine band.
-John Foyston, The Oregonian

Kerosene Dream fans the bonfire with the release of their
second album, "From the Sundown Sky." The 13-song
studio collection was produced with Gregg Williams (who
has worked with The Wallflowers, Pete Droge, Eric Matthews)
and mastered by Tony Lash (Dandy Warhols, Heatmiser).
From the Sundown
Sky features the songcraft and vocals of Bart Ferguson
and Dave Coey. The album begins with a song about a
four year old "I Can See You" and ends in
a rest home "Hanna Cove Rest Home". "The
album is cyclical," says Ferguson. "Like the
sunrise and sunset, live begins and ends. This isn't
just a group of songs about a bunch of random topics."
From the soaring up-tempo lament of "Arizona Lightning"
to the quirky and whimsical "79' Country Squire"to
the gritty swagger of "Phoenix," the stories
and images in the song come alive. "We view songwriting
as a craft," says Coey. "Intentionally crafting
music that supports the lyrical ideas of each song."
