Off to Mexico

Next week I will be in Mexico where I will get to jam with my big brother Rusty who is a great singer/songwriter/guitarist. He will be adding his touch to some tracks on the upcoming acoustic record while we're there and it will be great to have him be a part of one or more of my songs! He is one of my heroes!

The other day I had a telephone conversation with my old songwriting partner and dear friend, Phil Platten. Phil and were in Portable People together (which is where we both had our first single released). One of the songs we recorded back in the 80's was killer piece Phil wrote called "Putting Out a Fire on a Burning Bridge". After 20 years, I am pleased to announce that it will be on "Free Energy".

Don't forget to order your copy of "Live in Japan" which will be released on April 2nd.

Sneak Preview
In about two weeks Live in Japan will be released. This record was recorded at our shows in Osaka, Nara, Kobe and Nagoya, Japan in October 2006. Copies will be available at the website as well as CD Baby and iTunes. I still plan on releasing a companion DVD as soon as I have time to edit the video (after I mow the lawn, change the oil, finish the acoustic record and read War & Peace).

How Busy Am I?

Well since you asked, I'll tell you. I am waiting for the last tweaks on the master for the Live in Japan CD from my buddy Jim Laforest at AUDIOVISTA and Anthony (the art director) has the cover layout about 1/3 complete. It looks like its going to be a little different from what I posted here earlier but very cool nonetheless. Release date now looks like somewhere between March 15th-31th.

The acoustic project is just about completely tracked and it should still be out by the end of April.

Unfortunately, my working with Kasim Sulton and Prairie Prince on the follow up to "Unstoppable" has been postponed till the fall due to Meatloaf's tour and Prairie's schedule. If we can get together, that project will be well worth the wait. In the meantime, I am moving forward on the Unstoppable follow-up with another producer, so look for that release in mid summer.

We are also working on a tour of Europe and Japan as well as several festivals in the states. Busy but loving it!
More to come very soon.

頼んだので井戸、私は言う。 私はAUDIOVISTAで私の相棒ジムLaforestからの日本CDの生きているののためのマスターの最後の心痛を待っていて、アンソニー(アートディレクター)に完全な1/3についてのカバーレイアウトがある。 それはのように行くこと私が先非常に涼しいそれにもかかわらずここに掲示したものをとの少し異なる見える。 発行日は3月第1531thのように今どこかにその間見える。 音響のプロジェクトは完全に追跡されるについて公正であり、まだ4月の終りまでにあるべきである。 不運にも、Kasim Sultonの私の働きおよび「止められない」へのフォローアップの草原の王子はまでミートローフの旅行および草原のスケジュールのための落下延期された。 私達が集まってもいければそのプロジェクトは待ち時間の価値が充分ある。 一方で、私はもう一人の生産者との止められないフォローアップで進んでいる、従って中間の夏のその解放を捜しなさい。 私達はまた複数の祝祭と同様、州のヨーロッパそして日本の旅行に取り組んでいる。 使用中しかしそれを愛する! 非常にすぐに来る多く。 リック
