So here it is... well, almost! This is the first taste of Are you still with me?! A tribute to Huey Lewis and the News, that will see the light sometime this year. What started as kind of a joke back in 2005, has become a terrific project and a super fun and thrilling experience. The line-up is not 100% closed yet and more details will be revealed soon. In the meantime, stay tuned and enjoy the songs posted here. Needless to say, THE HEART OF ROCK AND ROLL IS STILL BEATING!

A million billion thanks to all the artists and people involved here for their unselfish contributions, time, energy, talent, help, support... and patience!
My friend, you have GOT to tell me when this release is due! I'm going mad-crazy and would like to put up the story on the site I work for. Come on, man! The waiting is killing me!!
this is such an excellent tribute album idea, i can't believe it hasn't been done before. its well known that without huey lewis, melodic indie rock would never have happened. we would all be listening to droning sonic youth clones 24/7.
Thanks for the add. What a project!!! Great to hear artists that are not only trying to deliver simple covers but who try to come up with new versions.
