John Russo’s Movie Music (CD Review)

Nearly everyone in the horror industry owes a lot of their success to John A. Russo whether they realize it or not. Russo is one of the founding fathers of the zombie genre having created the original NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD along with his friends George A. Romero, George Kosana and Russell Streiner in 1968. This was the first time zombies were featured in cinema history, although now, zombies have stumbled their way into every form of media in the world and are continuing to turn fans into dead heads at an alarming rate.

Russo has continued to produce films as both a writer and director over the years, and it's nearly impossible to have a full-length film without some form of music featured in the movie. That's why Russo has created John A. Russo's Movie Music!!--an album that features 10 different songs from his illustrious film career. Included on the album are the songs "Christmas By Myself" (Male & Female Versions) and "Brand New Christmas" from the film SANTA CLAWS. The album also includes songs from the films MIDNIGHT, THE MAJORETTES and HEARTSTOPPER as well as three songs performed by the man himself.

John Russo's Movie Music!! is not only for the fans of his classic films, but fans of music in general. The collection features a collaboration of many different genres including pop, country, bluegrass and others all on one album. Russo has proved that he has an excellent singing voice in addition to being a talented director and writer. Both the undead and the living can appreciate the great music featured on the album, so for more information, head over to John Russo's Scary Treasures.

You can also see John Russo at several upcoming conventions including Con Nooga in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 2013 where he will be judging the annual MS. BIOGAMER GIRL beauty pageant.
