BWW Reviews: Yellow Sound Label's KERRIGAN-LOWDERMILK LIVE is an Exceedingly Fun and Charming Albumby David Clarke - May 23, 2013Magical things really can happen when Broadway talents converge, as is proven on Kait Kerrigan and Brian Lowdermilk's sophomore album KERRIGAN-LOWDERMILK LIVE. The album exists because the duo raised an impressive and record-breaking $35,000 in their debut album's Kickstarter campaign. With the extra $25,000 they funded a concert tour, 2011's 'You Made This Tour,' and a live album, KERRIGAN-LOWDERMILK LIVE. As a singer-songwriter duo that also writes for theatre, there is a prominent and fascinating indie vibe that inhabits every track.

The casualties inflicted during the eight years of active war were equally disproportionate: almost 58,000 American soldiers killed vs. about two million Vietnamese civilians and military personnel, causing increasing domestic civil unrest and international embarrassment. Morally responsible to no other country except his own and its Constitution, President, Lyndon B. Johnson, commenced armistice talks in 1969, with the armistice treaty signed in 1973 by President Richard Nixon, with the eventual withdrawal of all American troops in April 1975. Even though the first-ranking member of the United Nations Security Council, the United States—just like the other most powerful nations throughout history—was able to allow itself to leave the morally binding question of “Sin and Retribution” unanswered.
