So What Do I Think About This Album?
Go have a listen for yourself!
This album was made 2003-2004 at Perrow Audio in Fairfield, at home here in Rockland, at Vincent Gabriel's studio in Warren and Bob Colwell's studio in Hallowell. Harry King was the main engineer. Bob Colwell did post-production mixing on the Sewing Song and The Storm, and played a very nice organ on The Storm. Musicians besides myself are Scott Eliot on bass, Craig Record on drums. John Koutny gets co-write credit on Morning Glory, and contributes guitar on Morning Glory and a guitar solo on Cross the Line. Harry King plays piano and synth on Kid.
What do I think about this album? Should you buy it? I have no idea. I just made it, I don't know why. I keep it alive because people who give me feedback on the overall effect tell me that it was personally helpful for them. I don't actually like this album in the abstract, sitting here thinking about it, but then sometimes I listen to it, and it catches me offguard. I hear it differently every time, and I think that is a good indication that it bears a listen.
When we create art, we release it into the unknown. It may have been about me at one point, but it's not about me anymore. Now it is about whatever you make of it.
I would have done a lot more with some of the arranging had I had the studio skills I have now, but I decided to leave it as is because it was where I was at then. If you are interested in the pure musical aspect of life, the Sewing Song is likely the most harmonically interesting. I like Perfect Circle best.
My digital distributor, the Orchard, calls it a singer songwriter album with a few rock and roll twists. Lyrically, they call it an exploration of the underworld of relationships.
The song that gets downloaded the most out there in digital rip off world is November Rain, which is my least favorite song in the collection. Go Figure. Enjoy the journey, Lizzie
