An 18-song album called "Tips Appreciated," by Nevada musician "Dangerous Doug" Harper has reconciled the conflict between making honest music with social value and surviving in a superficial business that is inherently false.
"This is an honest album --- a heartfelt message about making people and society better with a strong emphasis on local surroundings."
It's a 50-minute stream of alternately moody and exhuberant rock 'n' roll recorded at Harper's brother Matt's Armadillo Sound Studio and live at Smelter Hill, Comedy Tonight Theater and Shooter's here and the South Street nightclub in Springfield. - Nevada Daily Mail
Having written all the songs, Harper also plays guitar, bass and drums while drummer Nathan Conley and bassist Josh Smith are on "Rock Iowa" and guitarist David Byerly on "If the Mood Is Falling."
Main songs on the album are "Rabbit Ears," "Blame It on Bad Days," "Chances," "Stand Up and Say No," "Dead by Dawn," "Get Away," "Number 11," "New Hit Song," "Condo in Como" and "Last Song."
