Girlyman's second CD, "Little Star," is a collection of twelve
original songs tied together by themes of love and war. Co-produced by
Girlyman and engineer Bob Harris, Little Star also features Julie Wolf
of the Ani DiFranco band on accordion and keyboards, and Joe Dye on
pedal steel.
"My favorite albums have always been the ones that feel like a
journey," says Ty. "With 'Little Star' the idea was to end up in a
different place than where you began." The CD begins with the upbeat
"On the Air," the story of a has-been TV host, and ends with "This is
Me," which is narrated from the perspective of a war veteran.
Throughout, the members of Girlyman switch off songwriting duties and a
range of instruments, including the acoustic and baritone guitar,
djembe, banjo, and mandolin. "There's straight-up pop, a slow country
dance, a variation on bluegrass that we call "girlygrass," something
vaguely jazzy, and a couple rockers," continues Ty. Lyrically, there's
both commentary and, as usual, confession."
