Musical Visions, Vol. 1

Hello everyone,

My new release called "Musical Visions, Vol. 1" will be coming out on the 18th of October. It will be available online on i-Tunes.

It has twenty songs in total. I worked on it from January of 2010 to June 2011. I will go into the song titles in detail.

SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING - An instrumental that has a reminiscent of early Booker T. & The MG's Stax days. Great one.

TREMBLING - This instrumental is a tour de force. The guitar solo has an Ernie Isley influence from the Isley's 3+3 period.

STAYING TRUE TO MYSELF - This instrumental has a resemblance to the stuff that came out during the later Stax period from 1969 to 1974. Another brilliant song of mine.

MOODS - A smooth instrumental that has the funk, hippie jam band, R&B, and experimental roll into one song.

MORNING FLIGHT - A slow rock song that I wrote years ago until I perfected it with an acoustic guitar, Nord Electro 3 for piano, Mellotron flute, Mellotron sax, and Mellotron trumpet sounds. I still added the bass and rhythm guitar played through a Leslie via POD Farm.

I'M A ONE MAN BAND - The funkiest instrumental that I ever came up with. It is a must hear.

COSMIC BROTHERS & SISTERS - This is a hippie jam band tour de force with a lot of tempo changes and experimental sounds going on.

DON'T LOSE YOUR MIND - Another slow rock song that is very melodic. The listeners will really love the tune when they hear it.

MADISON, WISCONSIN - This one has a slight old school hip hop influence. This one is concerning aobut the people in Madison, Wisconsin who were fighting for union laws and fighting against the Republican governor, Scott Walker.

SHE WENT TO BE WITH THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN - This is a slow rock gospel influenced song that I dedicated to my aunt who passed away over a year ago.

DARKNESS - An instrumental that goes a lot of places. It is very adventureous as well. It is a must listen.

DARKNESS PART TWO - This is another slow rock groove with jazz rock, hippie jam band, and old school funk in the mix.

WAKE UP! - A hard rock instrumental that will blow your mind.

SOMBER MOOD (A DEDICATION TO 9-11-2011) - A dedication instrumental song to the people who lost their lives on that fateful day.

BEWARE OF THE TEA PARTY - An Anti-Tea Party instrumental starts off with fast rock groove and it ends up in a James Brown funk type of vamp.

FUNKY SOUL SISTER - Another funk instrumental with acoustic-electric guitar, Nord Electro 3 for organ, Mellotron horn section sounds as well as rhythm electric guitar through a Uni-Vibe via POD Farm. Listeners will love the song.

PLEASANT DREAMS - Another slow rock song. It is beautiful, soothing, calming, and wonderful at the same time.

CORRUPTION - An instrumental with a slight Traffic influence.

DOVE - An instrumental with an acoustic-electric guitar and string section via Nord Electro 3.

WONDERFUL JOURNEY - An instrumental that goes places. It was the one that I wrote over ten years ago. This one is a must heard.

Well, I do hope that everyone will check out my new release when it comes out. Thank you very much.

P.S. The keyboard that was used on "Searching For Something" is the Siel OR 400.
