Bio / Background
First the bad news: Maury Merkin can't sing a lick.
He rarely performs live but in person, seated at the piano wearing no socks and with his legs crossed, he oddly pulls it off through a certain amount of directness and, well, maybe charm, and it's likely that folks who have seen the act recall some of this and that's what they were looking for in his recordings. But for the rest of you there's no getting around it: Maury can't sing a lick.
Also, you have to be prepared, if you're gonna listen to his CD "Ramblings of the morning following a sleepless night," to wade through seven of his poems. They're not hip. They're not even good poetry. But there they are, taking up seven of the first thirteen tracks, daring you to spend more time than it's worth to program your CD player to skip them and play only the songs.
Then, as if to underscore just what a lousy singer he is, Maury has included two tracks with songs of his which are sung by Rock Tipton, an exceptionally gifted singer.
