Hello, Fine People-
I’m excited and nervous with anticipation to announce that the pre-order extravaganza for my new album, “The Long Goodbye,” is hereby underway. The album will be officially released later on in the summer, but If you click here, you can be the first on your block to order and receive an advance copy of it on June 7. You have the choice between a regular and limited edition CD copy. You can also order a sweet new t-shirt and print, or a bundle of all three. Any pre-order you make will give you an immediate free download of one of the songs from the album.
BUT BEFORE YOU ORDER ANYTHING …. there are two things you should know: Each one of the limited edition CD sleeves and prints available for pre-order was lovingly silk-screened by the hand of my buddy and artist, Peaks (I assisted and tried not to spill the paint). The t-shirts were also hand-screened, but not by us. What this means is that no two limited edition CD sleeves and prints are exactly the same and each is its own objet d’art, so to speak. For that reason, I’ll be signing and numbering each one, which brings me to the second thing you need to know: There are only 248 limited edition CD’s, 39 posters and 45 t-shirts available (wish there were more but it took forever just to do that amount). Oh, and when you order a limited edition CD, you’ll be getting the choice of one of four different colour versions (yellow, green, pink, blue) that we created for the sleeve design. Kind of cool, right? So, without putting too fine a point on this…get ordering!
Here’s a video about the making of this album. It was shot over three weeks in January down in Asheville, NC at Echo Mountain Recording Studio. It’ll give you an idea of how it all happened. I’ll be sharing some more videos with you (which I think you’ll dig) as we approach the album release date. And please share these links with anyone and everyone. You’re the “crowd” in my crowdsourcing and I truly need your help to spread the music.
Quick, final note. This album took a chunk out of me. The songs were written and recorded over some hard times. I tried to be as fearless and honest as I know how in presenting them. It’s a lonely listen but I hope there’s some sort of reward for you in there. Thank you for taking the time to let this album in – and for feeling whatever it is that it makes you feel. I’m very proud of it and looking forward to sharing it with you.
