The songs
Side A
Liner notes
No One Does It Solo Only is the debut album of Layers of Meta, itself a project of songwriter and ukulele player Christian Crumlish. The album consists of twelve original songs arranged in two notional sides. All of the songs can be sung and played on a ukulele by a single performer. This record presents these new songs in their best light, with a crack band of musicians plumbing the reaches of pre-millennial Americana from today’s point of view.
This album represents the outcome of a long sequence of yeses, with the support and contribution of many hands and voices.
