WELCOME MY FRIENDS:
Thanks for dropping in and taking a look. Thought I would give you an idea of what reels me in as an artist and what moves me as a human being.
The message of the music and they way it hopefully touches someone out there, is the most important part to me. It has got to speak and force me to think about things. All my songs come from real life experiences and everyday situations. The way I live and the way I write are connected. Hopefully, I will connect with you!
This CD goes from hard driving electric blues to stripped down acoustic folk-rock. We also added some additional percussion to beef up the grooves, along with hammond organ to keep it organic.
The title track "Emotional Drift", was written the day after 9/11. Like every songwriter during that time, I ran to my studio to try and express and makes sense of what happened. Emotional Drift describes the gamut of emotions we all felt that day and the side we all chose to defend.
I believe Sept 11th marked the day of the great divide between right and wrong. It also marked the day when the world collectively pulled their heads out of the sand. The whole truth about that horrific day will probably never be revealed. One things for certain, hate has been smoldering for centuries and we all breathe a different air because of it. Maybe peace in this world is just not a priority!
I dedicated "Emotional Drift" to all those brave firemen and innocent souls lost and to all the families left behind trying to go on.
Working in the studio with Dan Dugmore, Reese Wynans, Kenny Malone, Dave Pomeroy, Mark Prentice, and Miles Wilkinson, was an honor for me. They are all so humble and accommodating and deadly accurate on their performances. We all set up in a semi circle in the studio and jammed until we got the arrangements down. Then we tracked live to hard disc.
I remember at one point looking around and noticing I was a surrounded by these legends and how it felt just like being in a room with family and friends. That to me was the big payoff. Being real and relaxed without attitude was still alive and well. I absolutely couldn''t have it any other way. I refuse to work with or be around rude, selfish industry folk no matter what kind plaque that hangs on their wall or what color stripe is sewn on their shoulders.
How kind were these guys? I remember we were done tracking and everyone was packed up and ready to go. Miles Wilkinson the producer, noticed we forgot to do a solo track on " Coffee Cup ". We asked Dan Dugmore if he could go back out and get his gear to blow down a Lap Steel solo. Dan looks up and said sure man, no problem !
Another great thrill for me was talking to Reese Wynans after the sessions about playing with Stevie Ray Vaughn. Reese was in " Double Trouble " during Stevie''s last years. When he laid down those Hammond B3 solos on cut''s like "No Regrets", I couldn''t help but think about SRV and the incredible impact he made in a short time as a player and as a human being.
I dedicated " Fighter Who Believes " , " No Regrets " and " Angel "... to the memory of SRV.
The funniest moment during this CD was having supper with Dan Dugmore and hearing a story about a famous country artist. All I can say is the story involves a turkey baster and a quart of Jim Beam. Dan assured me it was for real. I was blown away!....Can you guess what it was?
Thanks again for lending an ear.....
Bobby
