And boy howdy, ain’t it time! I ain’t released a (worthy) cd in over 10 years! Ive been on some compilations and released a Desperation Amalgamation -a bunch of outtakes! – to support a big gig. But I really haven’t had any focus, any real concept of what the album should be like and what and who should be on it. Well, there’s nothing like a deadline to home your focus! My husband “Leon” and I will be opening for a good (and successful!) friend of mine next november. And he said he hoped to have something new recorded for then, and I realized Holy Smoke! It’ll look AWFUL if we play this nice sit-down gig without any cds to sell! highly motivating.<\/p>\n
Therefore, I have resolved to have a new 10 song cd out by next July. I need to find out where to track it, and who to have mix it and produce it. So I put out a post on FB and got some good ideas. Then I need to have the killer cd cover, and I sure don’t want to leave THAT til last, so what kind of cover? Heck, what should the thing be called? Then I dredged up an old, dusty, long-abandoned vision – an album called Motel. The cover will feature the coolest old busted down motel i can find. The back will be the same shot, but with me in it, skulking by my door, maybe about to bolt inside. Well, maybe.<\/p>\n
Now I have to pick the songs, dust ’em off, brush em up, and lay them down. Then I’ll have them ready to send out to potential producers and the session guys.<\/p>\n
Money? Oh, Right. So glad you asked that question! Well, I think I can manage $5000 which means I’ll end up paying close to $7000 by the law of averages. But the time has come for commitment to my art! I’m done with doin this on the cheap. I want something I can be proud of. Something I would like to listen to, over and over again.<\/p>\n
