Following the release of 2002's enhanced CD entitled, NATIVE TONGUE, composer/bassist/keyboardist Kam Falk went back to the woodshed to begin developing a creative concept for this highly anticipated follow-up CD as a solo artist. While crafting this new CD, he has reached significant new career milestones, including collaborating with a host of new and musically gifted artists, composing his first symphony, the Belliger Symphony, and earning a master's degree in music composition. Along with these milestones, Kam has continued to perform on a regular basis while teaching music and sound engineering. His experiences have all been weaved into the sonic image of RETRO-RESPECT, with a focus on keeping the sound contemporary while serving each song with a unique arranging approach, along with adept and judicious playing.
Kam has also carefully chosen the repertoire for RETRO-RESPECT, this time emphasizing a more accessible arranging and performing style in the music, as well as choosing select favorites by ten of the most noteworthy and influential artists of this generation and giving you his unique interpretation. He has solicited some very capable help along the way, including friends such as saxophonist Alex Dean, guitarist Dorian Vaz, keyboardist Gary Bivona, and many more. With this new outing, Kam gives listeners a welcome new sound that blends all of his influences, giving you a healthy dose of rock and pop while stirring in some jazz and R & B spice.
Includes unlimited streaming of Retro-Respect - album - (2010)

Well, it's getting late, have you seen my mates?
Tell me when the boys get here
It's seven o'clock and I got to rock
Got to get a belly full of beer
Well, my old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys
And my old lady, she don't care
My sister looks cute in her braces and boots
A handful of grease in her hair
Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
Well, they're packed pretty tight inside here tonight
I'm looking for a dolly to see me right
I can use a little muscle to get what I need
And have a little drink and shout out, "She's with me"
A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I'm a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
Oh, don't give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night's alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
Saturday night's the night I like
Saturday night's alright, alright, alright
