holy crap. i'm tired. it's been a hectic past few weeks traveling all over the states and coming back to nyc to work on our cd. but it's paid off and it's finally done! i've uploaded some of the final mixes of a few tracks and took down the rough mixes. what you hear is what you'll get. the version of "wild irish rose" is the real deal. i'm in love with our version of tom wait's "old shoes & picture postcards". the guitar (played by demian sims) kills. andy baldwin did a great mix. jaime kent did a phenomenal job on the cd artwork. it looks great.
but two people really need to be mentioned. erick kaye is one. without him, this cd would not have gotten done. he helped engineer, produce, and played on it. he got us the studio time and gave us loads of help. thank you, eric. we owe you BIG TIME!!
the other person is jenn dee. she got guy to take pics for the cd and got jaime to help us make the artwork and layout. she did an amazing job and really came through for us. without her, this cd would look like crap and would have taken much longer than it did to make (if you can believe that!!). thank you, jenn!!
anyway, it's done dammit!!! i feel relieved. i can shower again. and start drinking again. hah. i hope you guys like it as much as i do. ray's voice has NEVER sounded so good. matty kills and i don't suck. just so happy.
anyway, listen to the new mixes. hope you enjoy them. we'll be in weston, mo. this weekend for the great weston irish festival. we love this fest. we've been there maybe 5 times now and each time it gets bigger and better. should be a blast. and we'll have some copies of our cd there to sell. the rest will be available in a few weeks time on cd baby and at our shows.
we'll be returning to paddy's in two weeks time, so hope to see you then. now i'm going to get drunk and listen to the cd again!
