A gift "From Good Homes"

I'm so excited about the recording process of my upcoming album. My producer John Ginty is doing such a wonderful job capturing the kind of sound I was looking for, and his expertise, his musical sensibilities, and his industry connections are working wonders. A couple of nights ago we brought in the incredibly talented Dan Myers of the great band "From Good Homes" to lay down some saxophone tracks for the record. First of all, Dan is such a cool guy and we had a blast getting to know each other and hanging out in the studio. Second, Dan is crazy good. He KILLED the 3 songs he played on... including one which he hadn't even heard all the way through and halfway through listening he said "Okay let's try one." Well, ONE was all he needed. Despite not even hearing the second half of the song prior to recording, Dan Myers managed to lay down an amazing solo during the break and then a wonderful finale to top off the song with a nice bow. "The old 8 minute take -- 4 minutes to record it and 4 to listen back." (J.Ginty)

Listening back to all three tracks during last night's studio session had John, bass/guitar player/engineer Mike Buckman, and I just smiling and shaking our heads. It is a blessing to work with such talent.

It's going to be awesome!!
