An American Original - Stan Ridgeway Stanard Ridgeway - California- Stan’s one of the most unique singer/songwriters I know of. Truly a pioneer and an American original. Stan Ridgway's musical career began in the late seventies as part of a soundtrack company to create music for low-budget horror films. Stan served as the conceptualist leader of the band “Wall of Voodoo” who successfully blended art rock with L.A. style punk. Stan’s solo albums all have a wonderful sense of style and a fresh way of storytelling. His vocal style is completely original and the music always interesting and innovative. Stan has been an outspoken critic of the music business for many years. His solo efforts all contain a slightly-skewed camera angle and cinematic imagery. His sublime stories have an underlying sardonic wit that is uncommon to say the least. Video from the Francis Ford Coppolla film "RUMBLEFISH" a soundtrack collaboration with Stewart Copeland "DON'T BOX ME IN" (Can you spot Tom Waits?) Stan’s Cds are available on CD BABY.
