Hi everyone:
Phoenix rises!! Phoenix, The AG & Stillwaters "band project" is finally finished! We are joined on this project by the stellar Dave Dick on mandolin, guitar, and banjo. Brother Bob Dick, at whose Northbridge, MA studio we recorded, lends some bass stylings on a few songs, with John Urbanik holding down the majority of the tunes. Ben Pearce and Mike Barnett lend mandolin and fiddle respectively. We're very excited about this project, which includes many songs we have been performing for years and which have been subject to many "when are you going to record this song?" type questions. Among these are the rousing 'Dance Upon This Earth', '40, 80, or 10', 'Montana Cowgirl' and 'Water is Wide'. Susan Forbes Hansen is providing her excellent photography and design skills with a photo of a stained-glass Phoenix from Hartford Courant columnist Susan Campbell's residence. So we're quite stoked about--finally--having recordings that represent our current sound.
Meanwhile the Roger-and-Amy retro-country duet album Something 'Bout You has been selling well, especially--through the magic of our online retailer cdbaby.com-- in Great Britain. We're not sure quite why this is, but coincidentally have engaged the services of publicist/agent Michael Sutton to book us a couple of weeks over there. These types of tours are always somewhat of a leap of faith as many times the details do not come down until about a month before the trip.
We've also surrendered to the "MySpace Music thing" and put up a page there at www.myspace.com/amygallatinstillwaters or www.myspace.com/rogerreso for Roger's. What's cool about MySpace Music, other than all the amazing musicians we can connect with from all over the world, is that the soundbytes come up immediately when you click into the site. There are album previews there, as well as here on this site, as well as our first video. Check it out!More later, and keep checking back for more album updates/sound bytes!
Amy, Roger, John, and Ben
