In advance of a new album, the record label always releases the track list. I always love that part, even though a track list tells you next to nothing about the subject of a song, much less what it sounds like.
For a book, it’s a little bit different. Hopefully the following track list will give you a better idea of what’s inside Kirk Urso: Forever Massive. So after the jump, here’s essentially the table of contents, but in “track list” form…
