It’s Gonna Be Alright

Just when things looked hopeless — as the Atlanta Rhythm Section sang, “the rats keep winning the rat race” — here’s a ray of hope. Written by Warren Samuel Miller and his long-time, L.A.-based co-conspirator, Robert Berryman.

Jericho

“Is it for a night or for forever?” An original love song by Tamara Colonna, with music that recalls the country-rock of L.A. in the 1970s.

This Time It Matters

“We won’t get fooled again,” The Who sang. And Aretha said it in one word: “R-E-S-P-E-C-T.” Find out what it means to me.

Home Tomorrow

Too many nights on the road, not enough at home. But that changes after tonight’s show.

Angie

Lauren Woodall sings a new interpretation of the Rolling Stones classic. Warren pays homage to one of his heroes, Stones’ pianist Nicky Hopkins.

Must Have Done Something Right

“Mama said I would break her heart, a wild child, no-good — and that was just the start,” Meredith Walker sings. Joe Bolero plays smokin’ tenor sax and Bert Mingea echoes Lowell Fulson and Grant Green licks on Warren’s ‘50s juke-joint fantasy.

Faces

The passage of time, revealed in the mirror. “I’ve bet the over and under, and lately I wonder if I’ve built anything that will last.” Echoes of early ‘90s country and Jackson Browne.

If I Gave It Everything

Two people fall in love and think about relationships in their past that failed. Maybe, each thinks, if I gave it everything this time, things will be different. Sung by Lauren Woodall and Aidan Denali Berry.

Keepin’ an Eye Out for You

This song by the late Neal Norton recalls the swagger of Ronnie Van Zant and the southern rock of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. Sung by Ron Duncan, guitar riffs traded by Bert Mingea and Guy Walker.

Bullets and Barbs

A guy is dumped by a fickle girlfriend. Anyone would be pissed, but not everyone can vent about it as poetically as songwriter Bill Gibson can. Sung by Lauren and Warren, and accompanied by lots of vintage synths.

The Hard Part

The magnetism of sexual is effortless. It happens or it doesn’t. But actually building a life together, while maintaining that attraction … that’s the hard part. Sung by Ron Duncan, written by Warren Samuel Miller.

When I Turned Around

The title track to The Considerators’ second album is an ode to the stargazers of the ‘60s and ‘70s who thought that celestial happenings — Comet Kohoutek passing by, for example — could bring us closer to enlightenment. Or at least bring us greater understanding of our place in the universe.

And maybe they can.
