     So Twice They Named It Nice
     MP3: Nobody Does Me Like You Do Me


Out of the bedroom and into the frying pan. On So Twice They Named It Nice, Jerry Fels and The Jerry Fels offer 10 songs that read like giving the world a thumb in the eye (I like to think of it more like a gentle nudge in the ribs). Also ten songs that celebrate (how shall I say it?) individuality, with a little more than a tinge of egoism. Atlas Shrugged for the iPod generation? Maybe not quite, but, then again, who engaged in more self-love than Ayn Rand? Anyway, I believe the message of So Twice... is twofold. Number #1: Look at the world with a sense of humor. Number #2: Believe in yourself. Furthermore, the album features a surprisingly diverse sound-pallette provided by a not-so-diverse back-up band (see photo on inside of album cover).


"Twice your average solo performer."
