Beginning to record "Everything Woman" with the "Dream Team"!
So today began the base tracking at Litho studios in Fremont. Eric and I have been working together on demo's and getting my work to a really clear place. Eric says that there should always be "room for studio magic". With these guys there with be a lot of that I suspect. Michael Stegner will be the pianist on this record and he has lended his charting expertise to my music so we are all literally on the same page. He is such a beautiful player! Jeff Fielder is a Seattle legend. His guitar playing is equal parts grit,heart and beauty. I have known Jeff for a long time, and I love it when our musical paths cross. Keith Lowe on Bass is a dream. In the past I don't think I truly grasped Bass as an instrument. My ears spend more time on melody and lyrics. Working with Eric who is a drummer and now Keith on Bass; I have a better understanding of groove. Keith plays solidly and permanently "in the pocket" but also with artistry and personality.
Eric Eagle on drums- while producing. To me this sounds like riding a bike on loose sand or maybe even straight through a pool. Very hard. Eric excels in this situation. He has a direct line to what he wants while waiting for that "studio magic" to arrive. And with Eric it usually does.
