Record Update

Okay, first off, let me start by saying that I appreciate the patience exercised by those of you who have shown interest in having a CD in your hands. This blog shall attempt to shed some light on the current happenings.

My friend and artist, Patrick Johns, has been working on the artwork/design and is almost finished. Actually, the cover art is complete so it's just the design that needs to be finished. The album cover can be seen at the top of this blog page. Clean and beautiful me thinks...hope you like it too.

In other news, producer Brian Brodie and I have been mailing mixes back and forth and the final mix should arrive tomorrow by 3:00pm if the United States Postal Service holds up their end of the bargain. Once I receive that I need to get it mastered. Thanks to my friend, engineer Nels Jensen, this cat named Orlando Rashid will be mastering the record. Orlando is the head engineer at Jamie Foxx's Foxxhole Studios and has worked with Foxx, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West and T.I. just to name a few. Now you may have noticed that all of the above musicians play completely different music than I do, but Orlando is top notch and will have the record sounding great. I'm really excited about him working on it and can't wait to hear what he does to it.

The goal is to have everything finished by the end of the week and sent off to the CD replication plant. After that, I will be playing a CD release show in Monroe, MI. The tentative date for that is March 24th, but I need CDs to play a CD release show, so we'll see how that goes. More details on the show will follow by the end of next week.

So there it is. That's all the news for now. Hope that clears things up for some of you. I can't wait to play the release show and hope to see you all there!

Until we meet again.
