I will be showcasing several tunes or "cuts" here to show a little about my tunes. I would like to thank and acknowledge several people in the recording of the tunes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADDED 01.16.08
I added the song Head First that was first recorded and released by the Baby's 30 years ago! I love the tune and I just thought I'd record it on one cold day. I do all the parts and vocals on this one as well as the recording and mixing. Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to download it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First there's my brother Aspen Vito who plays keyboards and does backing vocals on several tunes and helped write a few as well.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maxx Cool who plays bass on several of the tunes and also helped co-write Mixed Signals and also Butch Edwards who plays bass on "Say What You Got To Say". Great talents from God!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My bud Tracy Tope is one of the predominant guitars on almost all of the cuts and co-writer on several as well (watch for coming tunes). Thanks Trace!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My cuz Kip Brockett plays guitar as well on the the cuts. Phenominal guitarist, cousin, and friend. Kip is awesome!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On "Say What you Got To say" (and others to come) you have Derek Marshall Britton, aka Roger Hay on guitar along with the late Mandy Stevens. I played a track on guitar as well but suffice to say, there's more from Derek Britton where that came from in the future! Michael Schenker ..... SIT DOWN! (just kidding but Derek can smoke some strings!)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sammy Sammson is vocalist on "Say What You Got To Say". Sammy, if you read this, get in touch with me! I love you bro, what a range!!! I'd love to get back in touch for future stuff.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other 3 tunes this time around I sang and played drums. I wrote the tunes as well with the help of Derek Britton on "Say What You Got To Say" and Maxx Cool on "Mixed Signals" and Maxx and Tracy on "She's A Cool One."
-------------------------------------
On 8.20.07 I added "Can't Be Cool" and "Ride out the Rain" The first was recorded by Dennis Stone, Me, Joe Feeney, and Tom Andris. Tom came over somehow in the Krokus thing but anyway....great vocal and great performance by Dennis and Joe. It was recorded in Mountain Home, Arkansas with Bob Ketchum at his studio, Cedar Crest Studio. Krokus recorded some pre-production for the Blitz there as well.
----------------------------------------------------
Ride out the Rain is from "New Beginning" from Catch-22 and was recorded at Cotton Row Studios in Memphis with engineer Ronnie Kittel. It was top on our best effort as far as radio plays goes. It was most requested on FM 97 out of Springfield, Missouri and several Arkansas radio stations and other Missouri and Tennessee stations.
--------------------------------------------
Time Stands Still was recorded at Sounds Unreel stuidios in Memphis with several other songs. Great recording that still needs to be re-mixed and I plan on doing it
1 day
---------------------------------------------
On Can't be Cool.....the soaring lead is by my good friend DENNIS STONE!!!
-----------------------------------------------
On NEW BEGINNING I wrote the tune and do the main vocal w/ Tracy Tope on Guitar, Aspen Vito ..s, and Maxx Cool on bass guitar.
I FOUND OUT is pretty much the same lineup too with me on main vocal and writer.
