The New Album; THE RUNNER Expose~


"THE RUNNER" is shaping up to be what it is...
A dark and beautiful, lovely creation meant to heal me personally.
Some time back, I turned a corner in looking at my life and where I had been with the deception and unbelief in and all around me.
I chose to expose it in hopes of transformation. (myself and others)
I knew I could not possibly be the only one in the world feeling this way/having this hurt and awakening, so I chose to do the brave thing and sing about it.
Singing this music was never easy;
My heart ached beautifully.


So this collection is a bit of a purge so to speak.
I'm glad it has come to fruition and is finally heading out into the universe.
I am letting go of it now...I have no expectations, only new resolve for a bright future.


And for your information: This music was recorded in my personal "2High 2Die Recording studio with myself and Tom Landry doing most all the work.
We did go into Soundtek Studios in Campbell to record drums with Craig Martin and Robert Holmes on the kit. We had Norman Gonzalez on bass with Tom on "FLIM FLAM MAN" and Erick Thorton on Harmonica on "ALWAYS BEEN POOR".
All other work was myself, Miss Kristin and Tom Landry.


I am a writer first, then a vocalist, keyboardist and guitarist so it's nice to be able to get so much tracking done on my own.
Tom is an exceptional multi-instrumentalist. (too many instruments to list here)

These mixes you are hearing are my pre - mixes with mastering by myself as well .
I have been studying mixing and mastering and doing my own work for my previous four albums.
I do have an experienced team of talent at my right hand for advising and it's been a wonderful learning journey with seven albums to date.
My mantra is; do the best you can with what you've got.
