We finalized the masters of the new record January 28th!

February 4, 2012
The mixes sound magnificent, and I'm so proud of this new record.
I'll have promo copies for my trip to Memphis for my Official Showcase at Folk Alliance International Conference, and other shows in the the midwest. (Check the CALENDAR PAGE) Then we'll do an official release in early April!
I know it's been a long time coming. Thank you to all my supporters and donors to the project. These have been tough times for everyone, and I've done my best to keep this wonderful project alive. So have you. I won't let you down.
We still have to get the artwork finalized, and manufacture the physical product. There's still time to get into my list of supporters, because we still need funds for that phase now. Here's the link where you can donate directly:
***If you've reached this via my rss feed page, you can click THIS LINK to head over the news page on my site, and the link will work from there. Thanks!
I'll be using the talent, smarts, and general goodwill of my friends at theconnextion.com for the distribution of my new release on Household Ink, and for my back catalog, as well.
It looks like we didn't make our projected release date of Tuesday, February 21st, 2012 for the physical release of our new album, "Weeds Like Us". BUT downloads will be available at iTunes and all over the web by then.
The physical release will have to wait until April, or until we can get the funds to make that happen. We've made an amazing album on an amazingly small budget. It just takes what it takes.

Album is Underway!

Thanks to all the donors over the last couple years, and our successful kickstarter.com campaign, we've been in pre-production since March, and tracked three songs with a stellar band on August 24th in Highland Park at the Hobby Shop . My producer, Jeff Turmes, played bass. Don Heffington was on drums, and Rick Holmstrom and Josh Grange played guitars. Peter Malick is our engineer, and we'll be working with him Wed. Sept 7th and 28th laying down some acoustic stuff. I'm very excited about the material on this album, and can't wait to get it out to you! Watch for it this winter.
Be a part of making my new album happen!

This year, I plan to get back on the horse and finally record a more stripped-down acoustic album of music.
Our community lost a great friend in Kenny Edwards, who was set to produce my new album, and it's taken awhile to regroup. But I've got lots of new songs that I'm excited to sing and share with you, and I'm finding my way to make this happen with a new producer, my old friend Jeff Turmes , who is touring of late with Mavis Staples and band.
Kenny Edwards, Angel.

I am so sad to report Kenny's passing into the next world. His music and loving nature is in the DNA of the Southern California of the last several decades. We will miss him terribly.

Sang with Lou Reed on Wednesday...
-
November 3, 2006
As part of his California swing, Lou graciously invited me to reprise our
Joan of Arc duet from the Came So Far for Beauty Evening we'd done in Dublin. It was a different animal this time, sinewy and powerful, but delicate in her way. He started off with a very velvet introduction on guitar accompanied by the ample bass of Rob Wasserman and Fernando Saunders. That guitar then opened up wider and wider to accompany the fire. It was something I will always treasure.
