It's been a chilly one so far, but, the cold weather has not prevented me from moving closer to finishing and releasing my record "Ghost". I hope to have the mastering process complete by mid-February, then will move ahead with the duplication process which will result in records-in-hand! I really debated whether to create physical copies of this album, or, alternatively, to release it only via online streaming / download platforms. In the end, I suppose I'm too much of my generation, and I can't wrap my head around putting in all of the work that is involved with making an album and not having a physical product. So, I will make CDs- can't afford the vinyl!!- and I hope you are as excited to get one as I am to get you one! The final track order looks like this-
1) A Restless Heart and a Troubled Mind
2) Paladin
3) Ghost
4) Hard Luck Girl
5) Guillotine
6) I Wish I Was a Dog
7) Gig
8) Movin' On
9) Runner
10) Who's a-Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone
11) One More Time
Truth be told, I could have had this record ready to go pretty much any time in the last 8 months. I just haven't been in a hurry to release it- obviously- as I would like to have some shows booked to support the release and COVID has made live shows an iffy proposition. Still, it's a new year and I am super excited about this record!
I posted, on this site's "Home" tab, a new video for the title track "Ghost", shot and edited by my good buddy and longtime musical collaborator Marc Conklin. Check it out! I hope you are doing well and look forward to sharing music with you in the near future! Happy 2022!
