hi cg, howzit going? its been awhile since i've seen you. i'm afraid this aweful weather has kept me 'snowbound' (even without the snow! lol). miss your tunes and your smile!
Craig, I still enjoy listening to this album. Well recorded, for sure, but your intensely commited singing keeps it all real. I like to paly it for other clients who come in for mastering sessions. It's an awesome illustration about how simplifying the process yeilds amazing results. Checked out Wildflowers and Heartbraker albums yoou suggested. Now they're new references for me!
Anyway, best of luck to you, my friend, and I wish you all the success, recognition, and hilarious, medically hazardous social encounters that musicans often withness.
Cheers!
