The River
In August 2007 I felt an overwhelming feeling to start work on a new CD. Literally
like I was being pulled from bed in the morning and working well into the night.
Memories and deep past emotions were filling me, it seemed like a chance to embrace
a new future. I worked tirelessly for days on Easy St to create this new CD.
This is first work that I engineered and mixed completely on my own. Jon Preddice
on Cello and Jerry MacDonald on upright bass added color to a few tracks, but again
I relied on my own musicality to bring to life songs that I had spent more time
on arranging then ever before. This detail work on bass lines and piano parts, on
vocal melodies and storytelling was very draining, but the lessons learned made
it worthwhile. There are some great results on this CD. When it was released I was
not able to follow it for as long as other CD's. It got pushed aside rather quickly,
so I am glad it remains waiting to be discovered in its own time.
