Too Angry To Pray

A poet with sage like wisdom, Lasalle lays out tales of personal triumphs and defeats battling his own demons from alcohol abuse on the title track Too Angry To Pray where he laments Throw me a rope sweet Jesus/ help pull me back to my feet/ I?ve stumbled on lust and envy/ and some how, lost all belief, to being frozen by Fear. Using a myriad of familiar styles as a backdrop, Lasalle makes full use of his soulful, chameleon like voice.
From the 60's soul of Everything but Goodbye and 70's Outlaw sound of Promises Made to the delta poetry of Fear. The rollicking gospel fueled Bringing Love Back home and bluesy Take Me Back To Texas hit pay dirt in showing off his fine band the East Side Rockers and his genuine voice in songwriting. Just For A Second may be the first classic of the new millennium. It's bitter sweet tale of lost love, plays out like a three minute movie as Lasalle croaks the song out with a Louis Armstrong intensity. I try to convey real emotions in my writing says Lasalle, it's all about Truth. It's more than just a CD, it's a letter to my friends. Closing the record with I've Got It Made Lasalle leaves his friends with a smile, assuring them that no matter what he's been through in the last ten years he's come out on top.
