If I Felt Something Was Wrong….You know you couldn’t tell me otherwise Cuz When You Feel Me With Your Eyes…I Know My Soul Never Lies And You Know That I’ve Been…….Alone….On a Hill I Just Can’t Take The Chill, Anymore, In My Head….Lover Change My Blues to Red Soul Lover Will You Give Me All I Need With Your Soul, Lover……Cuz I can Feel It When You Bleed You’re My Soul, Lover……And When I’m Feeling Dark and Gray I can Look to You to Get Me Through Another Day With Your Soul, Lover…….Yes With your Soul Of My Love You are a Part…….Like Blanket, Wrapped Around My Heart And it Melts My Icey Walls….That I Built….. And Always Seemed So Tall And You Know That I’ve Been…….Alone….On a Hill I Just Can’t Take The Chill, Anymore, In My Head….Lover Change My Blues to Red Soul Lover Will You Give Me All I Need With Your Soul, Lover……Cuz I can Feel It When You Bleed You’re My Soul Lover……And When I’m Feeling Dark and Gray I can Look to You to Get Me Through Another Day With Your Soul……….. Change My Blues to Red Soul Lover….Will You Give Me All I Need With Your Soul Lover……Cuz I can Feel It When You Bleed You’re My Soul Lover….Will You Give Me All I Need With Your Soul Lover……Cuz I can Feel It When You Bleed You’re My Soul Lover….Will You Give Me All I Need With Your Soul Lover……Cuz I can Feel It When You Bleed You’re My Soul Lover……And When I’m Feeling Dark and Gray I Can Look to You to Get Me Through Another Day With Your Soul………..

about

These songs are a collection of songs that I have written along the way on my journey through this life. Nik and I hand-picked them (some of which either I or we reworked and in one case wrote right on the spot “I Shoulda Known”) to best represent the complete body of my musical work from the beginning of my song writing endeavors until now.

It is important to point out that there is no way these songs would be the songs as you hear them on this album without the superb production work of Nik Chinboukas as well as the sincere and honest heart, soul and style given of every musician that was kind enough to give their time to be a part of this project. Nik, Lucia, Twan, Chris, Gus, Alex, Matt, Mike, Paulie, David, Harvey, Rubin, Kylee and Dan…..Cheers to all of you!! I simply cannot put into words how grateful I am for all of you. Thank you so much.

released June 22, 2022

PRODUCED BY NIK CHINBOUKAS

Special Thanks to Pete Benjamin at Spin Studios for the amazing studio to work in, Mick James of Beneath the Sun Studios for his help with the project and his studio, Ed Cosentino for freezing his ass of with me to snap that cover photo, Dina Regine for pushing me to get out in that snowstorm and take pictures at the train station and her fantastic photos, David Shenton for his "Even Now -Piano Postlude" interpretation piece out of "Even Now" that we just HAD to include it was so good, and Glenn Jenkinson for his super tight job on the graphics and visual presentation of the album..Love ya brother.
Very Special Thanks to one of the most talented producers and musicians I know and that one could ever hope to work with. Your ability to recognize exactly where I am going musically at any given moment and help me convey that in an even more accessible way is simply stunning. Love you brother.
Super Special Thanks to my wife Betty, my entire family (immediate and extended) and everyone of my friends "The Group" included, for their undying support of all that I am and what I do and who make it possible for me to be an artist and release this record.
This record is dedicated to two musicians who I love and that we sadly have lost, Marc Salsedo and Ed Szigethy. You will both always be present in my heart, my thoughts and my music.
We are all one and forever connected to one another. Love and respect each other always.
