I just spent a few hours alone in the car driving back from Dryden. I've always been a fan of 4 hour drives when it's just me, the car and my thoughts. And my thoughts on that drive were about the next album and how in the world am I going to bring something better than the last CD. 'Deepening' is for sure the better of the two albums I've released to date and dare I say one of the best looking CD's out there. No, not just because it's mine, but the album; as I think about it now; was a culmination of some really great happenings. Here are a few of the many great things that took place while making 'Deepening':
#1 As I was in the midst of recording, I was very low on the funds to complete the CD. $10,000 low actually! Long story short I received a generous gift of $10,000 from a wonderful couple I know.
#2 My family and friends all put so much into making this an amazing second album. From the music itself to the look, feel and name.
#3 I recorded with two great Winnipeg producers. (Lloyd Peterson and Arun Chaturvedi)
#4 I recorded half of the CD in my previous boss'/landlords/friends/neighbors house.
#5 The design and concept of the album is amazing!
So you see my problem? It's almost like the "Dream album"!
All I hope and pray for, is that I am still many years away from making the greatest album of my career, but rest assured that I will do all I can to make Album #3 the best I've ever done yet and perhaps once there I will be able to share a new "Dream album" with you.
