This compilation CD started with a suggestion from Ian Anderson. He couldn’t
be here for the benefit so he said why don’t I just donate a track and we’ll put together a C.D.
It’s called "Something With A Pulse," and has 14 tracks. I’m on six of them which are all live.
There’s a never before released, live Gino Vannelli cut, another live one with Tower of Power,
there’s a live trio gig I did with Terry (Miller) in our home town in Sioux Falls. Two new
tracks we cut last April with Mike Miller on guitar, Jimmy Haslip on bass, Mike Fisher on
percussion, Bill Champlin on keyboards and guitar, and from Santana, Alex Ligertwood on vocals
and Richard Baker on keyboards. There's a new Eric Burdon track and another Ian Anderson track
that he did specifically for the C.D. There's a cut by "Thread", a group Doane Perry is in with
singer Ellis Hall who’s also on the Tower of Power track. It shows you how diverse his vocal stuff
is because you’d never know it was the same guy. Terry Bozzio did a track, solo drumming. There’s
a track from David Garibaldi and two percussionist friends of his. There’s a Fairport Convention
track. There’s a track with Mike Keneally, a friend of mine who played with Zappa, and a track
by James Taylor is the closing track. Everyone donated their publishing royalties on my behalf
so it’s kind of an unusual CD. It’s also the first CD I’ve been involved in from start to finish
which can really be a pain in the ass, getting the cover art right and all that. Now its off and
running, on Laughing Gull Records which is Doane Perrys personal label.- It could also come out
on a major label with a distribution deal that we're looking at...
I wrote the lyrics to Listen to Your Heart. I wanted to write some kind of a song we could record
for the C.D -- and my friend Richard Baker had the music, but no lyrics. I brought the lyrics in
and Alex the singer and I made them fit the music and that was our song. The reason I’m learning
piano is so that I can write my own music, but I’m real pleased with this, it’s called "Listen
to Your Heart" and it’s all about giving or receiving and sharing ids why we are in this and
"Make the Connection" is part of the chorus. So it was written about the event and everyone
coming in to record. |
