The Felice Brothers got their start as a band playing in the New York City subway. They lived in a little apartment in Brooklyn and would play in the subway stations at 42nd Street and Union Square and in Greenwich Village. The three brothers originally hail from Palenville, New York in the Catskill Mountains.
From All Music “alley of Abandoned Songs benefits from consistently stark, unadorned folk-rock arrangements. It’s also an album of beautifully conveyed balance and duality. “Crime Scene Queen” talks of “sorrow on Joy Street” and “tears of champagne,” while on “New York by Moonlight,” Felice eloquently lists big city flaws and travails before declaring “there’s no place I’d rather be.” Passing through the Valley of Abandoned Songs, it seems, is a little like visiting the Lost & Found, and there’s definite value in these reclaimed works of art.
