On Tom's Latest Album, "Tom Ressel"
During his Southern California interlude in late 2002, singer-songwriter Tom Ressel rounded up his band Thermos and recorded an album in Mambo Studios, in the heart of the Long Beach ghetto. "It wasn't uncommon to see candlelight shrines for someone who got shot on the street corner. But there was a great taco joint, Bright Spot, around the corner," recalled Ressel. Ressel was pleased with the results - but his drummer P.J. Mullen was not. Mullen mailed it to a music engineer in Boston to have it remixed and remastered until he was satisfied.
"I was the lazy guy, saying, OK, fine," said Ressel. "Fortunately, I loved it. Which is unusual, to get something you really like."
The master recording then sat in his room for months, even surviving Ressel's move back to Aspen. "And one day, I said, today's the day," he said. "In one day I wrote the liner notes, took photos, put it in FedEx and sent it off."
