State of Mind
About my first album...
This CD was a long time in the making. There's a lot to listen to on it, and I'm glad that listeners are liking it.In some ways, State of Mind began in 1986 - but it was mostly recorded between May and October 2001. It was a long-distance project, and for reasons that shall remain a mystery, mixing, mastering, and production weren't finished till November 2003. There's more than one perfectionist in the mix. Everyone involved also works for a living, so it was something of a spare-time thing . . . but . . . we made the best of the time. This sucker's packed with peanuts! |
The album has some songs I've been playing live around central Ohio since the mid-80s. People sing along with these songs at gigs, so they feel like oldies. But there's also newer songs that show where my head was when they were written and recorded.It's a bit of a "production" studio album that carries the songs further than my band could onstage. But there are also a couple songs in a more stripped-down acoustic vein - which is more like the direction I'm headed now. And all of it comes straight from my gut, the only music I know how to make. It's as honest a piece of work as I can do. I like it. When you like it, that makes it even better. |
