18 songs, featuring multi-layered acoustic guitar and vocal arrangements, to create an intimate atmosphere where the insightful lyrics and intricate guitar playing are the focus of the album.

"If you want to tell someone how deeply you love them, but can't find the words, let singer/songwriter Van Cleave do it for you. ... It takes real courage and truly being in touch with one's most interior sensibilities to say these things so directly and profoundly."
NAPRA ReVIEW (Spring 1998)

To read the lyrics

Originally released as a cassette album, Stalkin’ A Country Smile is now re-mixed and digitally mastered for CD. This album features several brilliant musicians recording with Chris in England. It leans towards positive country with an eclectic mix of stylistic influences and rhythms. His lyrical perspectives on relationships include the deep joys of love, being hung up on, playfully suggestive lyrics, being left out on a limb, the death of a loved one, being true to oneself and more.

"With timelessly crafted songs as powerfully emotive as "Laugh With You" and "Simply Love", and a voice that simultaneously encompasses the power of Scott Walker with the tenderness of Jackson Browne..."

New Beginnings

*Jesce Sole (ASCAP)

An album purposefully created for those wanting to heal relationships, meditate, pray or realign priorities - with songs at the end that increase the tempo - to inspire new beginnings!

The first six minutes of the album blends a chant The Veil is Lifting, written by Chris, into a powerfully uplifting chant - Jesce Sole: an adaptation of a traditional Neapolitan chant by John La Barbera and Alessandra Belloni from their folk opera Stabat Mater in which Chris performed as Jesus at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York in 1998.

Chris' melodic voice, overtoned with rich harmonies, soothe, heal and inspire!
