Sounds Like:ABOUT THE SONGS:
-----------------
JUST WANNA MAKE LOVE----------This is a cover of a Willie Dixon song. I'm actually singing this one. All of the tracks are keyboards.--------------------
JUST A DREAM----------------
Timmy Dixon brought 6 songs for me to arrange, produce and perform on. This guy has it all at 18 yrs old. Great ideas and strong vocals. We took the songs to Nashville and recorded with a top-notch group of guys.-----------------WILLIE JEAN----------
Recorded at Big Note Studio, this was my first encounter with Lane Frizzell. He brought in an idea and this is my interpretation. All tracks are keys on this one. Lane is a pleasure to work with live and in the studio.--------------ROCK ROCK DANCE DANCE--------
Just listen to Morgan Jones, at 15 yrs old. We were actually working on another tune of Morgan's when this song was born. One of those magic moments that we pursued instead of the song we originally set out to do. This gal can do it all and has a great attitude doing it. All tracks on this cut are keys.-------------KEYBOARD TRIBUTE TO JEFF BECK--------
One of the songs I perform live. All tracks are keys. A Stevie Wonder penned classic Jeff Beck song.-----------------LOVE TRAIN--------
Back at Big Note Studio, I had the pleasure of meeting Ross Wolfe. Ross brought in a tune penned by his legendary songwriter dad, Danny Wolfe. We gave it a new treatment and brought in Joe Jonas to sing.--------------TABASCO CAT---------
A homemade tune with Chris Savage on sax. Chris hails from Montreal and has toured with Cirque du Soleil. All other tracks are keys.
