Cover Art

Jonathan Barrie came up with a fantastic cover for Love Isn't Enough.

While I piece everything together and master the record, feast your eyes on this:

Mixed!

Love Isn't Enough is mixed!
All i need now is a quick mastering job, and the final artwork. The mastering won't be an issue as I have no intention of compressing the life out of my project (unlike the general industry tendency these days).

For now, here are a couple of YouTube clips. At various points, these two tracks show the improvement a year's singing lessons can accomplish (thanks KH!).

Finishing The LIE

It's 10:30 on a Sunday morning.
I'm listening to the final mix of LIE, and can't sit still. I'm pretty anxious to throw this one out to the world.

LIE: Love Isn't Enough has been a long time in the making. Not just the 6 months or so that I've spent recording. The oldest songs, Love Isn't Enough and What To Say might be 18 months old at this point. But then there's the history. I've spent 37 years causing havoc, and it's these memories and experiences that have shaped me and my writing. Loving crazy women, loving one that's crazier than the rest, revenge, bitterness, awe, regret and ambivalence. They're all here. And they're all deeply embedded in my muses.

A year to write, 6 months to record, 47 minutes to air-guitar.



I may have to have a Sunday Morning Beer to calm myself down...
