Vertical Alignment is pleased to release our first advance single from “The Trail of Tears Suite.” The song is “Land and Sky” which tells the story of the Cherokees just before and through their contact with white Europeans. Penned by Peter J with vocals by Mike Florio, it captures a time that is forever lost. The song also features members of Ajalon as guest musicians along with former Glass Hammer guitarist, David Wallimann. Enjoy the song that started “The Trail of Tears Suite” almost four years ago. “Land and Sky” features:Mike Florio - lead vocals

“Native Son,” the second advance single from “The Trail of Tears Suite,” is an unusual look at Cherokee humorist, writer, radio personality, and actor Will Rogers. This man carved a place in the early 20th century with his homespun wit and wisdom along with a healthy dose of finely barbed political commentary. This song was written by Mike Florio with a little help from Peter J and is beautifully sung by Mike. Kevin Thomas (Salem Hill) joins the band on drums. Vertical Alignment is indebted to America's premier Will Rogers impersonator, Randall Reeder, who added pithy quotes that you'll hear sprinkled through the song. Randall, along with the Will Rogers Museum, verified that all quotes used are the genuine words of Will. “Native Son” features:Mike Florio - lead vocals, keyboards
