Review of Singing Sanitation Worker

Through a light and straightforward approach, this piece places the listener alongside Andrew Macchio on the back of the garbage truck as he belts his way through the streets of New York City. The rotting smell of old garbage fades away into the air and you can't help but hum along with him. The lyrics "I gotta be me" echo throughout, reflecting Macchio's personal ethic that perhaps too few working people consider in their own lives. It's uplifting and well-produced-- listen to this piece right now if you haven't already!
