Done.
The album is in the proverbial “can”.
An old-fashioned expression (somewhat appropriate given my predilection to
referring to it as an “album”) for an old-fashioned album full of old-fashioned
music.
I must admit I found myself, on more
than one occasion, performing dance style’s that were popular in the 60’s; the
Twist, the Mashed Potato, and even a subdued Bob Fossy-ish mincing about. Which may be indicative to what we’ve created
over these last few months.
As we listened to the final cut getting
mixed I couldn't help but hear the pop-ish folk/roots rock of the 60s and
70s. The songs overall are an amalgam of
genre’s, some old and familiar, some new and untested, some twisted and
reformed into a piece that I could not recognize when I first wrote the song.
Whatever it is that has been wrought
twixt the artist and the digital canvas it’s safe to say I’m diggin’ the hell
out of it.
I have thanked all of you for your
support of this project and now it’s time to thank the people who made it come to
life like I never could.
Adam Stemple – my good friend and
co-producer of this album. His experience, attention to detail and keen sense
of what sounds good and what doesn’t was an indispensable asset and testament
to how good an album can be if you have the right people.
Leo Whitebird – a man I’ve known
for many years and who I now can count as a true friend. I’ve worked on side projects with Leo in the
past and knew him to be an engineer in every sense of the word. Leo was the
gear piece that kept Adam and I moving ever forward. He really knows what he’s
doing and I couldn’t have done it without him.
Jennell Bergwall – she has been the
architect of the visual aspect of this project to help focus and meld what one
see’s to what one hears. She’s been a
good friend to me these past few years in building my website and creating the
album art for this and my last album.
Through it all these people have
shown me patience, assistance, reason, thoughtfulness and above all proved that
they are just as vested in creating a solid, powerful work of art as I am.
Now begins the myriad and sometimes
tedious tiny details that go into post-production. I shan’t boor you with the details but
suffice it to say we’re not out of the woods yet but I can see the sunshine
thru the trees.
