Atlantic Masters 812273 174-2 (2005) - Europe CD reissue with 1 bonus track

Notes: 1) “Spectrum” is master drummer Billy Cobham's first solo album. It was released in 1973 while Cobham was still a member of Mahavishnu Orchestra along with co-founder John McLaughlin. 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the 1973 US vinyl pressing. This release originally came in a gatefold sleeve. 3) Album has been reissued on cd various times. 4) Some remastered CD re-releases of “Spectrum” include bonus track “All 4 One”. Lee has explained that this track is a warm-up jam originally intended for engineer Ken Scott to get the right recording sounds. The line-up in “All 4 One” is Cobham, Lee, Tommy Bolin and Jan Hammer, all playing same instruments as on “Stratus”. 5) “Spectrum” has also been released as a DVD-audio outing. At least for the EU release that specific issue would not include bonus track “All 4 One”. 6) According to web sources, some CD releases of “Spectrum” seem to come with recording dates. This is not true for the original vinyl release the following credits were taken from. 7) According to web sources, bonus track “All 4 One” was included in the 2-disc CD anthology “Rudiments”.

Notes: 1) CD album was issued as two different versions, one a 10-track release and the other a 12-track release. 2) Following credits were taken from both 10-track release and 12-track release. In the latter case the pressing in my possession is a UK release. Please note that there is no difference at all between either credits, except for the lyrics of the additional tracks which have been added to the already present ones. 3) It is unbeknownst to me whether the 12-track release was issued also on the US market: after some web search I could not come up with anything but a single catalog # on All Music Guide (Capitol 2211) that however was not mentioned anywhere else, this making it in need to be verified. 4) Please note that track 6 on the 12-track release (“Take It To The Limit”) was recorded for and included into a CD tribute project entitled “Common Thread: The Songs Of The Eagles” released by Giant Records in the US in 1993. Some of the tech credits are different. Please see relative entry at bottom of post. 5) Please note that tracks in common between the two releases are actually the same versions. 6) CD album does not come with track-by-track musician credits.

Andrew Gold Memorial Concert

2011-11-21T01:52:00.016+01:00

Andrew Gold Memorial Concert - L.A., November 19th, 2011

Friends and relatives of the late singer-songwriter Andrew Gold gathered on Saturday in L.A for a musical celebration of Gold’s life. The musician, who passed away last June at the age of 59, was one of the most well-loved artists of the L.A. scene.

Son of Academy Award-winning composer Ernest Gold and of classically-trained soprano Marni Nixon, Gold took his first musical steps in the Seventies as part of the Linda Ronstadt group, and reached individual success in the second half of that decade with hit singles like “Lonely Boy” and “Thank You For Being A Friend”. In the Eighties, Gold formed the successful new wave pop-duo Wax with ex-10cc member Graham Gouldman, and kept being quite active as a musician and producer after the group disbanded in 1990, right up until recent years.

Among the many artists and friends who got on stage to pay tribute to his memory and musical legacy were singers Rosemary Butler and Deborah Pearl, keyboard player Jon Gilutin, drummer Rick Marotta, Lee Sklar on bass, Gold’s three daughters Emily, Victoria and Olivia and his sister Melani. He will be dearly missed.

Some of the musicians who gathered last Saturday in L.A. for the Andrew Gold Memorial Concert.

Singers Rosemary Butler and Deborah Pearl are joined on stage by Andrew Gold’s sister Melani and his three daughters Emily, Victoria and Olivia.

Klaatu

2011-11-01T13:55:00.018+01:00

Klaatu - Endangered Species
Daffodil SBA-16060 (1980) - Canada LP

Side One

1 - I Can’t Help It*
2 - Knee Deep In Love*
3 - Paranoia*
4 - Howl At The Moon

Side Two

5 - Set The World On Fire*
6 - Hot Box City*
7 - Dog Star*
8 - Sell Out, Sell Out
9 - All Good Things

Notes: 1) This is the fourth album by Canadian group Klaatu. 2) Above image and following credits were taken from the US vinyl release on Capitol ST-12080 (1980). 3) Album does not come with either musician or tech credits. Roles of band members at the time of the sessions and recording location were inferred from the interview database at www.klaatu.org. I want to thank that website's owner, David Bradley, for being so kind as to allowing me to make use of said material for the compilation of this post and for some help with last-minute adjustments. 4) In the above mentioned interviews, Klaatu member John Woloschuk and “Endangered Species” producer Christopher Bond (→ Hall & Oates) explain how album was recorded in Los Angeles, and that a number of L.A. session musicians were chosen to lay down basic tracks prior to group members adding vocals and overdubs. Lee was one of these musicians and the highlighted tracks indicating his contributions in the above track list are the result of both Mr. Woloschuk’s and Mr. Bond’s recollections of the recording session process, expressed in said interviews, along with those of the other two band members Terry Draper and Dee Long. You can read the full text of these interviews at the following links (just click on them to be redirected):

2001 interview with “Endangered Species” producer Christopher Bond by Mark Hershberger
1997 interview with Klaatu member John Woloschuk by David Bradley
2006 fans Q&A with John Woloschuk conducted by David Bradley
1980 interview with Klaatu by former editorial manager of Capitol Records US, Stephen Peeples

The above is true also for the other session musicians mentioned in the following credits. 5) Please note that John Woloschuk’s recalling reaches two different conclusions about Lee’s presence on track 8, as on the Q&A article dated May, 2006, he mentions it as one of the two tracks he later overdubbed bass on. 6) Please note that in the above interviews no other bass player except Lee is mentioned has having taken part to the recording sessions of “Endangered Species”. The track attributions in this post are therefore the result of Mr. Woloschuk’s recollections, which were found not to be conflicting with Mr. Bond’s notion that Lee played bass on ‘at least a couple of the tracks’. 7) At the same link for the fans Q&As you will find a list of demoed songs that had been taped in preparation for the “Endangered Species” album sessions. Please note that the existence of subsequent versions of these songs recorded with the participation of Lee or of any of the other session players at the time is not a sure thing, and could only be confirmed by Mr. Bond’s master tape copies, as he explains in the above-mentioned interview. 8) Also according to what related on same sources as above, Klaatu’s drummer Terry Draper was not featured on the finished album as a drummer and only appears as a vocalist. 9) “Endangered Species” was re-released on CD by Bullseye Records of Canada. This edition will have liner notes by Klaatu members Terry Draper and John Woloschuk, and by producer Christopher Bond. Please check back for further addition about this release on this very same post. 10) Please check bottom of post for entry about the “Knee Deep In Love” single original 7” mixes.

Mike Reno

2011-11-01T13:19:00.006+01:00

Mike Reno - Renovation
www.mikereno.com (2002/2004) - Canada CD

1 - Affection
2 - Dream Machine
3 - Still In Love Alone
4 - Sixty Years
5 - New Messiah
6 - Take Me Back
7 - I Say Go
8 - Burning Down The Bridge
9 - I Don’t Want To Stop
10 - All I Ever Needed Was You

Notes: 1) This is the solo debut of Loverboy’s lead vocalist Mike Reno. 2) Album was recorded in the early Nineties and due to be released on Sony, but it was ultimately shelved until Mike Reno himself released it as a CD via his own website www.mikereno.com. This website is not currently online anymore (November, 2011). 3) No musician credits are included in the CD album’s booklet. Lee was however one of the studio players performing on the recordings. 4) According to web sources - namely www.melodicrock.com/reviews/mikereno-renovation.p3 - other tracks were cut at recording time but eventually dropped from the final release. Same website mentions guitarist Tim Pierce as one of the original session musicians involved in the project. 5) End of track 1 is somewhat truncated. 6) Track 6 has a drop at 2:43. 7) It is not clear from the very minimal tech credits if engineer Humberto Gatica was the recordist for the whole album or only for the closing track “All I Ever Needed Was You”. 8) The only songwriting credits included in the CD album notes are for track 10.

November 9th/10th, 2011: The Latin Grammy Awards - Person Of The Year Tribute to Shakira

2011-11-01T00:22:00.015+01:00

As some of you might know already, Colombian pop superstar Shakira is going to be the recipient of the Latin Person Of The Year Tribute at the next Latin Grammy® Awards 2011. Shakira, winner of two Grammy Awards and of seven Latin Grammys, will be honored with the tribute during a gala ceremony, and performing in a special concert event taking place in the context of the Latin Grammys, all on November 9th at the Mandalay Bay South Pacific Ballroom in Las Vegas, NV.

I just had a talk with our roving reporter at large, BeardBassman, and he spilled the beans: Leland Sklar is going to perform with Shakira on this very important occasion. While the gala/concert event will be a private thing, we are sure that BB is going to come up with some cool, exclusive behind-the-scenes images, and you will only have to stay tuned to these pages to be surprised. Lee will also appear with a number of other artists, and will be the bass player for Mexican singer-songwriter nominee Marco Antonio Solís on the Grammy Show night.

Picture was taken behind the scenes of “Love, Sweet Love”, the Mark Taper Forum event held on October 17th, 2001, celebrating Mr. David’s 90th birthday. Leland was one of the players in the concert, a star-studded tribute to one of the most legendary wordsmiths in the history of American popular music.

Important Suggestions For Cross-searching

2011-10-10T18:41:00.004+02:00

System glitches are preventing the ‘search this blog’ function from being fully operational. In fact, as of October, 2011, some of the content of posts published after September 1st, 2011 is invisible to these internal searches. Blogger team was contacted and they are trying to solve the issue but this does not look likely to happen any time soon. Here is a recap of what you can do should you want to cross-search a specific term (artist, album title. etc.) within the posts of this blog.

1) Labels

Space for labels will contain only 200 characters per post. Although this impediment can actually be overcome, the system won't accept more than 20 labels per post in any case. This makes the usage of labels not suitable for thorough cross-searches. What you will find posted as labels for any given post will only be:

1) The names of the titular artist the post is about.
2) Lee.
3) All those other musicians that are titular artists as well in already published posts. This will not necessarily mean the artists in question will have played on the same track(s) as Lee.
4) Drummers (no percussionists).

This means that, should you want to find all the posts a specific labelled name was included in within this blog, you just have to click on the relative label at the bottom of any given post.

In order to be able to post the drummers labels I had to get rid of a couple of labels in the James Taylor post, namely Art Garfunkel's, Bonnie Raitt's and Byron Berline's. I hope Blogger will revise its label policy so as to permit a re-integration, obviously not just for these three instances but as a general step forward to better cross-searching of data.

2) ‘Search This Blog’ function

Please use the ‘search this blog’ box on the right column of blog if you are looking for names that fall outside the above labeling criteria (i.e. any musician/producer/technician who might have played a role in a project that did not bear their name). This would be the best way to search for whatever word within the overall posted content. Alas, above-mentioned glitches are preventing this search system to be fully functional: as of September, 2011, some of the content of posts published after July 11th, 2011 is invisible to these internal searches. Blogger team was contacted and they are trying to solve the issue but this does not look likely to happen any time soon.

3) External Google search

The above-mentioned ‘search this blog’ box will help you if you want to know in how many of these posts a certain name or title appears (let’s say “Carole King”, or “Thoroughbred”). Since this function does not seem to work properly, the best way round this problem is to position yourself on an empty Google search page external of this blog and search both the name of the blog and of the artist/title you look for together, putting the latter in between double quotes. For instance, to look for all of the Bass Routes entries that include both Leland Sklar and Carole King you should type:

site:bassroutes.blogspot.com “Carole King”

When Google shows you the results, go to last page, click on the ‘repeat the search with the omitted results included’ at the bottom of the results list and you can now start to sift through the many ensuing results. Tipically, you will get the ‘real’ stuff first and then a series of spurious results which will appear only because the term you have been looking for was mentioned in comments and/or notes, or in monthly summaries, etc.

All of this is very tricky so we hope whatever glitch is causing this mishap to be dealt with soon by the staff at Google. They are working on it…

Thanks!

L.R.

Notes: 1) This is a tribute album dedicated to Buddy Holly.

Track was remastered for the occasion but, according to Peter Asher’s notes, song comes in its original Val Garay mix. 3) CD album comes with two liner notes essays, “The Legacy Of Buddy Holly” by James Henke and “Listen To Buddy” by executive producer Peter Asher. Please refer to original CD album’s booklet for these. 4) CD album comes with song-by-song liner notes by Peter Asher. While I took the liberty to quote two paragraphs in relation to two of the tracks Lee is a player on (see bottom of post), please check out original CD album’s booklet for the complete notes.

“Thanks Be. // This album is a labor of love, starting with Holly’s own. Buddy’s legacy is a testament to the great love Maria Elena Holly has shown for more than 50 years to her young husband’s music his talent, and his vision. We are delighted that she loves the music on this album. Peter Asher, Executive Producer, makes no bones about Buddy’s songs, either: he “loved them all.” Every artist, musician, and technician performing on this album was open about her love for Holly’s music. Each brought a love for his craft and this music to every note played, verse sung, and track laid down. Thank you // Many others gave with open hearts to make this album, celebration, and project the most outstanding tribute to Buddy Holly’s music possible. Our amazing staff are the foremost, especially Melika Atic and Reni Calister. Our friends at Verve and Universal have given outstanding support at every level. Despite the admonitions of Shakespeare, we thank our wise counsel - especially Rochelle Kerner. Plan A Media forged their full-steam-ahead publicity and Doreen D’Agostino gave committed assistance early on. We have had unwavering help from the “Fearless” Brian J. Murphy, the fabulous Tisha Fein, the lovely Ivy Skoff, and the incomparable Phil Hack and David Leaf. We are inspired by the devotion of Peter Bradley, John Thomas, Kevin McGowan, Molly Mayeux, and Dick Cole to Buddy Holly’s music legacy - and his guitars! Our colleagues at Peer Music, MPL and Universal have done much, hallelujah, to put Holly’s “Star” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Sean Keepers and Brent Carpenter made us all look good, literally. Thank you. // Peter Asher’s music here is extraordinary. The thoroughly modern yet utterly authentic renditions of Holly’s works here sing for themselves. But the music is not all of the story to this album, and this album is not the entire story of the “Listen to Me” project - a series of celebrations of the True.Great.Original. Artists who forever changed contemporary music, re-interpreted by today’s leading artists to raise support for the next generation of music’s greats. This was one of Buddy’s personal goals. In his footsteps, “Listen To Me” will benefit three music industries charities that support new, great talent. Thanks be to all, from Songmasters.”.

“Benefitting the next generation of music’s greats - a program of Songmasters”.

Track 10:
“Original 1976 version Re-Mastered 2011”.

Excerpts from the Song-by-Song Liner Notes by producer Peter Asher

“Not Fade Away - Stevie Nicks // Stevie Nicks’ voice and style are national treasures! She is a valued friend and as one of the very first people we invited to be part of this project, Stevie had first pick. I initially suggested another song but Stevie chose “Not fade Away”, and how right she was. I co-produced this track with my dear friend and colleague (and one of the very finest guitarists in the whole of rock and roll), Waddy Wachtel and we brought in the legendary rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar. Waddy and Stevie had worked together as a team for quite a while so it was the perfect setup. And I was very privileged to join Lori Nicks and Sharon Celani as one of the “Bopettes” in singing our version of the original background parts! Stevie’s vocal was cut live - she sang with an intensity and determination that is a treat to hear. (…) // Well All Right - Lyle Lovett // One of the most amiable, charming and intelligent gentlemen in the music business with a wonderful voice to match, Lyle is another favourite singer who said “yes” right away. I was visiting him at his recording session in Los Angeles and asked him on the spot. We picked up a couple of guitars and tried out “Well All Right”, which seemed to suit Lyle perfectly. I sang some harmony parts, we both played and it sounded right - so we called up our shared favourite rhythm section of Russ Kunkel and Leland Sklar (along with guitar maestro, Waddy Wachtel) and cut it just that way.”.

“Private Conversation” - EU 3-track CD single - disc screen print

“Private Conversation” - EU 3-track CD single - front inlay

Lyle Lovett
Private Conversation/The Road To Ensenada/It Ought To be Easier
Curb/Edel 0078295CUR (1996) - Germany 3-track CD maxi single

1 - Private Conversation* - (Radio Edit) 3:50
2 - The Road To Ensenada* - 4:11
3 - It Ought To Be Easier* - 4:11

Notes: 1) This is an EU release of the single “Private Conversation” originally included on the Lyle Lovett album “The Road To Ensenada” (see entry above). 2) Track 1 is a radio edit version of the same album track clocking in at 3:50 as opposed to the album version, which is 4:32. Radio edit cuts out: a) one “hey hey” repetition right before the last “and his hand it fell behind her” verse; b) the last “no one heard her say, it was a private conversation…” repetition before ending. Also, radio edit ends abruptly with a sudden cut/reverb after only one “hey hey” repetition on the coda, while original version starts fading out after second repetition and fades out completely after third and a half. 3) Tracks 2 and 3 are same versions as on CD album. 4) CD single comes with no musician credits. Please refer to CD album credits for complete musicians listing.

Lyle Lovett - Vocals
Leland Sklar - Bass (1, 2, 3)*

“Also available on custom mastered HiQ cassette.”.

“Special Thanks to Tony Brown, Jimmy Bowen, Bruce Hinton, Jessie Noble, Bob Bullock, Sally Isaacson, Jim Malloy, Reneé Bell, Simon Levy, Emerald Sound Studio, all the excellent musicians, and the wonderful family at MCA Records. // “Painting Music” was conceived by traveling to different parts of the country - writing about the magic, wonders and beauty of each setting. I hope you enjoy the music. // Billy Joe Walker, Jr.”.

“Gauguin used a paintbrush to capture his impressions of the world around him; Billy Joe Walker, Jr. uses a guitar. Yet both artists portray a world in primary hues, a world where life seems more joyously unexpected than ever before. // In “Painting Music,” Billy Joe Walker’s newest offering, his canvas is the imagination and his palette is filled with chords that bathe the senses in vibrant color. The album proves with an almost playful certainty that Billy has become a master of his exacting craft. // Making vividly visual music is nothing new to him. His previous Master Series albums, “Treehouse” and “Universal Language,” venture deep into the realm of the mind’s eye; his session tracks for such talents as Kim Carnes, Waylon Jennings and Ray Charles weave a strong visual thread into those artists’ efforts. // “Painting Music,” however, goes far beyond anything else Billy has produced to date. Its pulse is the pulse of waves on a Malibu beach, of the rhythmic Caribbean lifestyle, of the mischievous thrust and parry of bonefishing in the Florida Keys. Its songs color those subjects and more in earthy umbers and lush blue-greens. Billy’s guitar work has a sure and sometimes sassy feel that tickles the senses as it touches the heart. // Fusing an uncommon vision with a dollop of elemental magic, Billy Joe Walker’s “Painting Music” is, quite simply, a paean to that finest of all the arts…the art of exuberant living.”.

Tracy Byrd

2011-09-30T14:54:00.005+02:00

Tracy Byrd - The Truth About Men
RCA BG2 67073 (2003) - US CD

1 - Drinkin’ Bone
2 - You Feel Good
3 - How’d I Wind Up In Jamaica
4 - Tiny Town
5 - The Truth About Men - with Andy Griggs, Blake Shelton and Montgomery Gentry
6 - Making Memories Of Us*
7 - That’s What Keeps Her Getting By
8 - When You Go
9 - Baby Put Your Clothes On
10 - Somewhere I Wanna Go

bonus track

11 - Ten Rounds With Jose Cuervo - live version

Notes: 1) CD album does not come with track-by-track musician credits. 2) According to an article on www.noteable.net, Lee was the bass player on the only track recorded in Los Angeles, Rodney Crowell’s “Making Memories Of Us”. This was the first session of the project and when the rest of the recording resumed in Nashville, producer Billy Joe Walker, Jr. and Tracy Byrd brought Lee in for additional sessions. You can read the article - which comes with Tracy Byrd’s appreciation of Lee’s style and session work on the album - here. 3) No engineer is credited for additional recording on track 11. 4) Recording credits for track 11 are somehow mixed-up, still it makes sense to infer that track was recorded live at Far West Rodeo, El Paso, TX and that the engineering done at Our Place Studio, Nashville, TN was only for additional recording and mixing. 5) Since credits for track 11 are separated from the rest in the original CD album notes, they have been kept as such in the following.

“Thanks: // I love making my music. I feel fortunate to make a living doing something that I enjoy so much. There are many people other than myself that make this possible and allow it to happen. It is a foundation of sorts. It all starts with a strong family. I have that in my wife Michelle and our three children Evee, Logan and Jared. They allow me to do what I do, they understand why I’m never home on weekends and the summertime, and they are the reason I go on the road and the reason my heart aches when I am gone. I thank them for their forgiveness, love and devotion. // A great record label is something I do not take for granted and RCA records is a great home. Joe Galante gave me the chance to make this record, he and Butch Waugh have always made me feel welcome and confident in what I am doing… Thanks!! Renée and Carole Ann are the best song-girls in the business. Mike Wilson, Keith Gale and staff take those great songs and make them hits (Thanks again for the #1)!! My thanks also to Jon Elliot, Jim Saliby and everyone else at RCA -- y’ all are the best! // The recording process is a lot of fun, but it is also hard work and I could not do it by myself. There are many hours that go into this album project you are holding. My friend and producer, Billy Joe Walker Jr., puts in those hours with Steve Tillisch at his side. Thanks Billy, I never had as much fun making a record! Thanks to Ginny, Steve, Ed and all the songwriters, pickers, and singers that lent me their talents. I would like to thank four singers in particular, my buddies Andy Griggs, Blake Shelton, Troy Gentry and Eddie Montgomery who are the epitome of “The Truth About Men.” // Now that this record is made I have to get on the road to promote it. Greg Oswald and The William Morris Agency find us places to play year after year. You better have a good band when you’re traveling all year. I have my family, “The Only Way to Fly” band, which are Marc, Bubba, Britt, Johnny, Billy, Randy, Cary, Earp, Sarge, Chris, Jimmy, and Tim who make it happen night after night. Thanks, guys! // We need a bus to ride around the country on and we’ve got a beauty thanks to Diamond Coach, Greg and Kylie Earvin. We stay in the black thanks to Debra McCloud and Carol & Olivia, thanks!! // The main reason we go on the road is to see the “Byrdwatchers,” my fans, who have become my friends through the years. You make me and the band feel appreciated. Sharon Eaves deserves the credit for keeping the fan club thriving, thanks to her and her staff. // Thanks to my personal management, Carter and Co., Joe, Mike & Kerri and to Starkeeper, Melissa Miggo!! // Country radio gave me a #1 record in 2002... Thanks for 10+ years of support! // There are many more people to thank like, Lisa at Justin Boots, Edie at Wrangler, Randy at Ranger Boats, Toxey Haas and my buddies at Mossy Oak, Glenn at Ol’ Man Treestands, David Vincent at Takamine, Antone Horton, Shure Microphones, Walter Umphrey, Joe Penland, Tom Flanagan, Bill McNinch and Community Bank, Philpott Motors, Raymond Taylor, Ernie Ball, Ray Benson, Harry Shaw & the AVA’s, Kris Kristofferson, Paul Steinman at Guitar, Banjo Studio, Glen, Diane, & Billy at “The Branding Iron,” Sandy Kelley of Titleist, Yamaha, Starkey Lab, Ultimate Support Systems, and Carvin for everything! // I also want to send a warm thank you to Angela Baker and her husband Ray with Perfect Day. I am proud of what we do for my charity of choice, Children’s Miracle Network, and I would like to thank them and Brenda Drago for their support and the wonderful work they do. // I sincerely hope you enjoy this album as much as I did making it because the ultimate reward for what I do is your satisfaction and happiness when you listen. // Thanks be to God, // T-Byrd (artist formerly known as Tracy Byrd)”.

Please refer to that album’s entry for more detailed musician credits. 3) Tracks 2 and 3 are taken from the Iglesias album “Starry Night”, mistakingly indicated on this CD single's liner notes as “Starry Starry Night”. 4) Track 4 is taken from the Iglesias album “1100 Bel Air Place”.

The complete Julio Iglesias discography here confirms this. 5) According to web sources it appears that volume 2 of the “I Like It Like That” soundtrack includes the rhythm remix of “Guajira/Oye Como Va” (see below). 6) According to www.imdb.com, the original soundtrack of the “I Like It Like That” movie includes also Iglesias’ cover of “Crazy”.

Two different subsequent non-US releases added the Spanglish radio edit of “Maria” as a bonus track, sometimes at the beginning of the song selection, sometimes at the end. 2) According to web sources, in some of the above editions - US release included - CD album comes with alternate cover art and photography. The alternate picture is a David La Chapelle image which is anyhow included in this edition’s inner booklet. 3) In the following credits, those music/tech terms which were originally written in Spanish have been translated into English. 4) Album does not come with track-by-track musician credits. 5) Please check back for inclusion of more data and possibly the numerous alternate versions of this CD album’s singles.

Gracias por haberme hecho reir, llorar, amar y vibrar. // A Dios por darme la serenidad de aceptar las cosas que no puedo cambiar y el coraje para cambiar las que sí puedo… // Lilly Melgar y su buena fe. // Zonia estoy acostumbrado a ti. Te quiero cerca.”.

“I am about to embark on one of the most important projects of my entire career. And that is to re-introduce you to Regina Belle. You and I are well aware of just who this marvelously talented lady is from music endeavors, but have no idea as to what you’re in store for now! Many thanks to Ma and Pa Belle for creating and nurturing what will become, if not already, one of music’s most complete performers. God-given talent, along with dedication, perseverance, luck, education and, most of all, a PASSION for life is what you are about to hear. Yes, a night spent at Rutgers University with Mtume and hearing a young lady sing about eight bars of “Lift Every Voice And Sing” was enough for my ears. Then a conversation with Blue Lovett (of the Manhattans), who at that time was looking for a female singer to accompany the group on a tour, led to an audition and the hiring of Regina. And the rest is what history is made of. Mtume, Blue and myself, along with many others, may have something to do with Regina’s beginning, but make no mistake - 98% of the credit goes to the lady herself, who spent the time studying the masters of music (Billie Holliday, Sarah Vaughn, Johnny Hartman, Donny Hathaway, Bessie Smith, Cannonball Adderly, John Coltrane, Nancy Wilson and others). The person who spent many, many nights in clubs honing her craft was at the same time observing the theory of music classics, obviously with an intense PASSION. “A Whole New World (Aladdin’s Theme)” (with Peabo Bryson from the motion picture Aladdin). It’s now time for you to experience Regina Belle’s PASSION: PASSION is a feeling; PASSION is a necessity of life; and PASSION is “If I Could”; PASSION is “My Man” (Billie Holliday’s classic); “Dream In Color”; “The Deeper I Love.” Now experience Regina Belle’s PASSION. // Vaughn Harper”.

“PSALMS 44:8 // In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name forever. Selah. // To my husband who has changed my life totally and has filled my greatest gaps to infinite joy and great cheer (I love you). To my children Jaylin and Tiy whom I love dearly, although you are very young and do not fully understand all of my (Mommy’s) responsibilities that may take me away from you, Shukran (Arabic for thanks) for loving me anyway. Grow up to be something wonderful and remember Mommy & Dad are always there to help and guide. // To my Mom and Dad, you are truly the greatest part of my foundation. Thanks for believing in me to do the right thing and trusting me to go all the way with it (the music). // Both my grandmother and grandfather, Fred Belle Sr. & Viola, thank you for the constant and unconditional love that you have always given me. I know that through your eyes I am still and will always (only) be Gina. To my other grandmother, Mama Gracie, you are a spirit not known to man. You are surely the mirror of strength that I could only pray to be. // To my brother, nobody could ever be more proud of you (except Dad & Mom). Remember to take charge of your life in every aspect. I’m very happy to be your big sister. Could I borrow some money? // To my sista Toy, no one knows that when we’re together you are really the star. Thanks for always looking out for me. // To my new family, the Battles and the Jacksons, thank you for your continued support. Winter, continue to strive and I’ll be there to help. Aunt Marva you know you’re my girl. To my entire family, some names I may not have mentioned, I love you dearly. // To my pastor Rev. Fred Belle and my church with the Friendly Heart-Friendship Baptist Church, thanks for instilling in me that Jesus is Worthy and He is surely real. // Mervyn Dash (Unka Merv), you said this is the one. Show me so I won’t give up my day gig! Brenda, Miss In-house, what time is your flight? Are your nails done? Did you wash your hair? And for God’s sake make sure you get enough sleep! You two guys are the hottest ticket in management! // Jeff, Pauly & Sully, nobody does it better. Understanding Sound is the essence of your being. Mark Minchello, Glen Pearson, Mike Hogan, Karl McNeill, Willard Dyson, who make up the “Absolute Truth,” please never divorce me. I am truly grateful to you always for your undisputed loyalty. // Chris Walker, I believe you’re trying to do it! Marc Daniels, I always knew you did hair for the CIA. Donyale McRae, I dub you Mr. Transformation. And to Billy Belle, Battle & Lovett, your triple alias always did and always will have a place in my heart. You too, Craig Starks. // Ruth carson, thank God for you! BET let’s do it again. To Black radio & retail, who loves ya baby? Thanks for staying with me on the last album, don’t leave me now. Oscar Cohen, Jody Wenig & the ABC family, I don’t ever wanna leave you guys and you say you love me, so can I have two million dollars in prove-it-to-me money? // Shirley Murdock, you’ve always made me come to reason with whomever or whatever I was toiling with. Don’t you ever have a problem? Miki Howard, Donna Allen, hang in there girls. Nick Martinelli, I ate the cheese bitch and what a wonderful project it turned out to be. Narada, it’s all about “One Love.” James Carmichael, thanks for the aid in bringing out “My Man.” // To all of the musicians & vocal musicians on this album, what can I say, I only work with the best.

“Hi, thanks for buying this album. I hope you receive large amounts of pleasure when you press play on the thingamajig that makes the sound come out of the speakers. I had a great time playing and singing under the loving and watchful eyes of my producer Mr. Steven Soles. I would also like to thank my wonderful engineer Mr. Larry Hirsch. Larry was admirably assisted by 2nd engineer John Sorensen. I would also like to send HUGE BUSHELS of love and thanks to the ever lovely Jenny Price (my A&R) for without her this album wouldn’t even be here. Muchas Gracias, Jenny. This album is dedicated to Larry Hirsch’s hamster Avery, A.K.A. the mooster micester who died and went to hamster heaven while we were in the midst of recording. I would also like to thank the stellar cast of musicians who gave their soul to the analog tape: Jim Keltner, Dean Parks, Bob Glaub, Steven Soles, Leland Sklar, Benmont Tench, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones horn section (Dennis Brockenborough, Tim Burton and Kevin Lenear), David Kemper, my dear friend and songwriting pal Jewel Kilcher, Jimmie Haskell, Gregory Page, Denny Fongheiser, Van Dyke Parks, the always ready Jerry Scheff, John Wittenberg, Joy Lyle, Xiao N He, Joel Derouin and Steve Richards. A shot of love must also go out to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles for all the greasy food that kept us lubed. A big shout goes out to the fine folks at Ocean Way especially Clarice and Ya Yoi. A busload of thank yous to Robert Duffey, my friend and manager. For all of you technological geeks out there this album was recorded analog using a Radio Shack micro cassette answering machine. // At this time of this long-winded thank you recipe I would like to add 4 gallons of thank yous to all of the Rugburns fans for supporting me over the years and letting me crash on your floors and drink your whiskey. Don’t worry, there will be another ’Burns CD in the future. I just wanted to be sensitive folk guy Joe and not have anyone die in this batch of songs, including the Mommy deer. Once again thanks for listening. Love, Steve Poltz”.

“Special thanks to: Ma n Pa Poltz - Thanks for making me stick with those geetar lessons, my sister Kath, my nephew and niece Shea and Kayla, and my Uncle Louie for taking me to all the Planet of the Apes movies. I would like to thank Danny Goldberg for dragging my sorry ass off the road and getting me into the studio; and David Leach for his hours of patience in working with me during battling practice. I would also like to thank Dana Millman, Ken Weinstein, Dave Einstein and all the super kool folks at Mercury Records. // A Schwinn bike with a basket full of thank yous goes out to Diana D’Amato for nursing the bird back to health with that cute little bird dropper full of baby food. I gotta thank Sam D’Amato for getting me hooked on cough syrup and Valium and turning me on to his bookie. 12 steps won’t be enough for me. Mine go to 13. A special thanks to all my musical friends back home in San Diego: John “Parchney” Castro, Java Joe Flamini, Karla Peterson, George Varga, David Branfman, Esq., Tommy and Marla, Tom Plein for loaning me cash for my first PA, Mike Halloran for playing my shit on the radio way back when I was on 8-track, Drunk Ted and Flipside Mag, Wendy’s open mike at Java Joe’s especially Wendy and his cute berets, and Dick’s Automotive. // Otherwordly thanks to: Hap Mansfield and everyone at Cake Magazine, Anastasia Davies, Herb Cohen, Martin Cohen, Evan Cohen, Jane Ayer, Donna Gast for lipstick tips, Jack Duffey, Katherine Duffey, Carol Ellis, Nancy Levin and Michelle St. Claire, Danny Ferrington, Kevin Moran, the wonderful author of the Niceness Manifesto Mr. Joe Daly, Brad and Bruce at Absolute Artists, and T.J. & everyone at Taylor Guitars.

“Hey Everybody! // Thanks for checking out my CD! For more of my lyrics and journal entries, go to my website www.hopepartlow.com // Love, // Hope”.

“Thanking people should be an easy thing to do but it’s not. There is no way I can express my gratitude for everything that everyone has done for me. // It doesn’t start with recording an album. It starts at the beginning. First of all I give a huge thank you to my parents, my brother and sisters, and the rest of my family. Thanks for your love and support through everything. To my lovely friends at home, Billy Owens and the All American Band, everybody at the Strand - thanks for truly believing in me. // Aunt Joyce, Chris Pelcer, Laura Donohue, Allison Allen, Theresa Smith, I wouldn’t be here without all of your help and love. // Jan Smith and staff, Nite Driscoll, and the Atlanta Institute of Music - All of you totally rock and I can’t thank you enough. // All of the great musicians and songwriters, everyone at the studios thank you so much. Stuart Dutsky and Co., Joe Serling, Larry Rudolph, Adam Leber, and Kati Herrera - thanks for handing all the business stuff. Katie Agresta, everyone at Hanson Fitness, Robin Dunn at Steps on Broadway, Matthew Smith, Alan Savage, all of you kicked my butt with your talent. Thank you. Greg Collins, Mark Dobson, and the many involved in the making - Thank you for all your hard work. To everyone in the band - I HOPE IT LASTS FOREVER. No pun intended. Everyone at Virgin Records, thank you for all your time, effort, and energy. So much behind the scenes stuff has to happen and be dealt with - All of you do such an awesome job. Thank you again! // Dean Serletic, I wouldn’t be where I am today without you so it’s all your fault. I am very thankful to have someone like you who has walked me through, step by step, the process of making an album. You always had faith in me. Thank you. // Matt Serletic, I don’t know where to begin so I’ll start at the end - YOU ARE AWESOME! Working with you on the album was so cool. You amaze me with how much talent you have. I will never be able to thank you enough for giving me this huge opportunity! To be and artist with Virgin Records is a complete dream come true. Thank you for seeing what I could become with some help and a lot of support. I have so much respect for you and again I thank you.”.

Rob Thomas - Cradlesong
Emblem/Atlantic 2-517814 (2009) - US CD

1 - Her Diamonds
2 - Gasoline
3 - Give Me The Meltdown
4 - Someday
5 - Mockingbird
6 - Real World ’09

8 - Hard On You
9 - Still Ain’t Over You

14 - Getting Late

Notes: 1) According to web sources, this CD album was released at least in four different content configurations the world over, plus one more edition for the iTunes market. We will go back to the specific releases in detail once I get hold of those. So far, it will suffice to list the bonus tracks that were included by country of pressing, bearing in mind that some of this info could not be verified:

US bonus track: “Little Wonders - radio version”.
Germany bonus tracks: “Years From Now”, “Remembered Well”.
Japan bonus tracks (verified): “Overrun”, “Her Diamonds - video”.
ITunes bonus tracks (verified): “Sleep Till The War Is Over”, “Believe”.

My thanks to Donnavox, who is a Rob Thomas forum member at http://boards.atlanticrecords.com/artists/robthomas/forums. According to her, the iTunes tracks come without liner notes, just like “Overrun” in its CD release as b-side for the “Her Diamonds” single. Check back for updates. 2) Above picture and following credits were taken from the made in Malaysia EU release on Emblem/Atlantic 756 7896812L (2009).
