The Beginning of the Journey
|
These
pictures were taken at our rehearsals for the new songs by our
producer Mike Paxman. All of the songs have now been written and
rehearsed and sound just great. It will be a very rocky CD and we
are all very happy with the results thus far. There are a few lyrics
to be written, but these can be done at a later date. The music is
all there, and we have reached new levels in the rehearsal room of
great excitement. Russell has brought into the fold a wealth of
ideas and energy, and has had an immediate impact on what we do.
Mike Paxman has been there every step of the way too so we are all
on the same page, and we cannot wait to go in and record everything.
We are going into Chapel Recording Studios this Sunday and we are
going back to the old tried and tested way of recording whereby we
all set up in the same room and play.
It will be a very organic way
of recording with mostly Guitar, Bass, Drums and Hammond Organ being
the key instruments on every song. We are only in the studio for 12
days whereby we hope to have all of the backing tracks complete and
some overdubs, and then we will review where we will record the
vocals, solos, embellishments & mixing. We are still on track for
the September release which is no small miracle considering the
departure of Lee. I speak with Lee quite often and he is getting his
health issues sorted out and is sounding a lot better. He has a long
way to go but at least he has made a start and we all wish him well.
Other than that it is onwards and upwards and we are looking at a
full year of shows along with a new CD and it has been a long while
since we have been able to say that.
'Appy days!
