Not Your Fool, is the first release by New York City based singer-songwriter Alycea. It's an EP length CD but the six songs on it cover a good stretch of musical highway going from rock to reggae and from folk to country, and it's a ride we believe you're going to enjoy.
Starting with being born fearless in the opening track, you'll travel through the futility of war, a miserable day with a grinning dog, melting ice caps and vanishing forests, and then go all around the world only to find love back where you started. The trip will end in a broken down truck on a blind curve in a blizzard outside of Crossville, Tennessee - but it all works out OK when you experience nirvana in a Super-Six Motel.
Track list:
1. Walls

3. The Perfect Ending to a Miserable Day
