Living In SinVic RuggieroCover | Tracklist | Tourdates | Photos  Cover download cover: jpg 1200x1200px  Album infoFor those who know Vic Ruggiero as the singer and organist of the fabulous New York Ska act The Slackers, his solo album comes as a surprise: It's a freaky tour through American singin' / songwriting tradition. Ruggiero puts on the guitar and plays stirring Rockabilly and Country straight from the sketchbook, telling harebrained stories about madmen and New Jersey girls. An awesome album, recorded single-handedly by a brilliant musician and storyteller. For Vic Ruggiero, the difference between the styles of The Slackers and his solo recording are no contradiction. "It seems that most people who listen to Ska and Reggae also like these other kinds of music - old Rock'n'Roll, Blues, good Country music..." All his songs were written in the same way. If they sounded like The Slackers or like Johnny Cash, is all a matter of interpretation. "Living In Sin / Understanding New Jersey” has been recorded as early as 1997, but has never been "officially" released until 2006.
