Re-released CD Available
I am pretty pleased to be able to offer this album as a commercially available CD now. It has just been available as an iTunes download for a couple of years and was actually recorded over a period of a year or so, circa 1995. So you might call this it's 20th anniversary re-release!
It contains songs that I wrote during and just after the 'Capricorn era' of the Steaks...4 kids, no day job, lots of stuff swirling around concerning life, love, dreams, challenges, and uncertainty. I was blessed to have some really talented people around to help me out too. More below ....
I recorded and mixed this on a 1/4" reel to reel 8 track that we won with the Drive's 'Doin' the Countdown' video from the MTV Basement Tapes competition in 1985, so although the setup was already 10 years old, it sounds decent. My friend Fletcher loaned me a nice mic or two and a nice preamp to work with. But I engineered it and mixed it so it has plenty of rough edges. You might even say it's a demo collection.
Some talented people, as I said, contributed to performances. From the Steaks, Paul plays bass, Jim plays keyboards, Steve plays dobro, and Joe Donnelley plays most of the drums with Scott Mitchell pitching in on some too. Adam Brass (Sir Mix-a-lot) helped by mastering it.
