  • Bio

    CD AVAILABLE NOW @ iTunes & CD Baby............ .. "Now that's a good record…" -- Steve Earle, Air America Radio .. "One of the best albums of the year." -- Vintage Guitar Magazine .. "Maria McKee (Lone Justice) lends her throaty powerhouse vocals to three of the songs on I Can't Die in L.A., and also her piano talents to seven of the twelve songs here. From there, it just gets better and better. The band is solid, epically in the quieter moments, but can also rock-out with the best of them. They nail down the dynamics of each song with the articulate passion of an old Van Morrison record, pumped by Maria's gospelly fervor. Heartfelt emotions about love, faith, and morality require listeners to share the humanity and sensitivity on songs like "Drift Away," "Wind-Up Heart," or "Hail Mary." Hail the Size sing and play like they've got one night onstage in a two-bit bar to prove themselves.- They come through with flying colors!" -- JerseyBeat.com, Phil Rainone .. "A roots-rock romp with more than a hint of Hayes Carll." -- Beat Surrender UK .. "Reminiscent of Townes Van Zandt." -- No Depression .. "One after the other, all the tracks could be radio hits. Absolutely no moment of weakness on this CD." -- Rootstime, Belgium .. "The songwriting is ace. Don't let this obscure near-classic pass you by." -- Daggerzine .. "Steve Earle is probably green with envy." -- Rootsville, Belgium .. "It's a slow burner that will keep you coming back and humming its songs long after the tracks have ended." -- Innocent Words .. "What separates this from the pack is memorable songs, tasteful arrangements, lush, lonesome production and Maria McKee (yeah – from Lone Justice)." -- Innocent Words .. "All the songs are originals mixing clever lyrics, dark humor, and some healthy cynicism – wrapping them up in Ezell's convincing vocal." -- Beat Surrender UK .. Hail The Size is the LA-based songwriting team of Charles Ezell and drummer, Matt North. Both Midwesterners, North (Champaign, IL) & Ezell (St. Cloud, MN) have the hippest live show in the greater LA area featuring special appearances by A-list musicians, guest star comedians, and Ezell's hallowed characters, General Ulysses S. Grant and The Cop Poet - a true must see reality running regularly at The FAKE Gallery on Melrose Avenue. .. The LA Weekly writes, "Lead singer Ezell is a cross between a young John Belushi and John Prine. Maria McKee digs 'em too." Liverpool's Americana-UK praises Hail The Size, "This is country rock with added wit rather than a Ween style parody. No need to curb your enthusiasm for this LA musical excursion." .. North has recorded and performed live with such artists as Viktor Krauss (Lyle Lovett), Blondie Chaplin (Rolling Stones), Abby Travis (Beck), Nicholas Tremulis, and Jesse DeNatale. .. Hail The Size's upcoming CD "I CAN'T DIE IN LA" features 8 tracks with former Lone Justice lead singer, MARIA MCKEE, and cellist Matt Fish (Alejandro Escavedo, John Cale), LA guitar superhero Carey Fosse (Possum Dixon, Spain), and is set for street release in Fall 2009. .. ....................real..editor....best profile tools................real..editor....best profile tools..............How I made my profile:....I used Dave & Jay's amazing ..myspace profile editor...............................
