All Over But The Shouting: Album Sessions Day 7

Hey Soul Mates,
we are down to the vocals on our album. Well and a few keyboard parts. Bryan did a herculean job of putting down the guitars on Monday night. His work on Sucka and U Had The $, particularly. Lots of funky textures and brilliant solos across the board. I know Bry was relieved to get his parts finished. We were at the studio until 1:30 a.m. Long night.

Now onto the voices in my head and getting them out. Ha ha. Tonight, I will be collecting the instrumentals to work with for the next few days. Adam (Marsland, our producer) and I have been discussing arrangements and are very excited about this phase of the project. We've both been listening to and talking about the Bee Gees... a lot. Believe it or not. Not that we are going for that sound, but for that kind of approach. Pursuing some harmonies that you might not hear us perform on stage because we are a limited company. Plus, you know me, it's all about those falsetto parts. Curtis Mayfield, Barry Gibb. It's all good.

We've also talked about some female guest stars heppin' out with the backgrounds and harmonies. Another exciting prospect. I'll let you know what happens there. In the meantime, Adam has been tracking some clavinet parts for I Can't Cry For You and Sucka which will amaze you. They certainly captured my attention. Sounds like we've got Stevie Wonder circa 1973 on there.

All right. Have a great day. Keep on keeping on.
Love, Power, Peace
