The Ultimate Valentine = LEVEL 3

  Album reviews of American Zen's third album, LEVEL 3 = I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME,
are comparing Coyote to John Lennon as a singer, and a songwriter.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Montrose, California – January 23, 2009 – American Zen, America's first Buddhist rock band, released on September 11, 2008, their follow-up album to LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER. Both albums were released by Shaolin Records and produced by Richard Del Connor. LEVEL 3 = I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME, may be the most romantic spiritual album of all time.

For more information:
Richard Del Connor, Record Producer

I Want You To Love Me
All Around The World
I Just Want To Be With You
In Line
House Of Rejection
Change Your Mind
All Alone
Hurts To Know
Musical Woman
Carol

ROMANTIC POEMS:

God Is Smaller Than You Think (about you know who)

AMERICAN ZEN features THE HIPPY COYOTE, previously hailed as "The Best Flute Player In The World," who has spent the last two years playing drums. This is Coyote's first album as a drummer and it will impress audiences with songs like, "House Of Rejection," with it's jazzy psychedelic feel, and surf rock'n'roll songs such as, "All Around The World."

The two previous albums detailed The Coyote's struggles with Utah Mormons while living in Salt Lake City. This album, LEVEL 3 = I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME, is about the love affairs Coyote pursued upon his return to California.

Coyote's newest form of poetry has evolved into "BASS POETRY." After reciting all the poems for the LEVEL 3 album, Coyote thought he was done, but his 1959 Rickenbacker bass persuaded him to add up to three tracks of bass harmonies under all the poetry. Also recorded in one night, all the bass tracks behind the poetry transform this poetry into a new kind of song. Check out, "Civilized World," "Let's Go To Church," and "1,000 Sorrows For A Love."

About American Zen
American Zen is led by The Hippy Coyote who fronts the band on flute and acoustic guitar. Coyote is the "Kung Fu Cowboy" who studies Shaolin Kung Fu, and with their latest record, LEVEL 3 = I Want You To Love Me, has somehow become the band's drummer also. Although Coyote worked hard to get his bandmates back, the band was destroyed when our booking agent promised us we would make more money in Utah--and Coyote got stranded there caring for her kids.
