'Are you sure you want to put out a new album so soon?', asked my friend and incredible producer Kevin Howley... 'it's ready, and I have a lot of catching up to do,' I replied. Besides, 'stop worrying about when and how and where,' said my new FMO friend Michelle Treacy, 'just put it out when it's ready.'
Well, it's ready...
So... 'being (human)' is my new album dropping on Nov 3, following up on "Kiss the Rock' released mid 2023. Unlike the big, full band production of the first album, we felt being (human) would benefit from a more 'delicate' production to fit the character of the songs. The songs speak to all the beauty and harshness of love; the fun and the trauma of living; and the simple, raw truth of what it means to be human.
There's even a cover of 'Folsom Prison Blues' performed the way I think Johnny Cash intended it -- but the way you never hear it at late night drunken dive bars.
The cover art for the album (and the single 'i do') was specially created by Mojan Mozaffari, an internationally recognized visual artist. She has held several solo shows and has participated in national and international group exhibitions. She has been awarded several prizes, including Certificate of Congressional Recognition for outstanding art exhibition in 2015.
Have a listen. Let me know how it makes you feel…
