FROM THEIR SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM
WHICH IS OUT NOW – LISTEN HERE

“The standout Go (Hold On Tight) moves in slinky fashion before unfurling a gigantic, irresistible chorus; You’re A Chameleon channels Suede and the closing Falling Through takes almost seven minutes to tell its beguiling tale, as Donny McCaslin’s saxophone wails appealingly in the background. There’s more to come here, hopefully” (★★★★) MOJO

“There’s something of Ashes to Ashes in Go (Hold On Tight) and a touch of Aladdin Sane in Everybody Loves A Hero. But the songs also have enough of their own, dark-edged character to take the whole thing beyond pastiche.”
(★★★★) The Times

“All killer. All star.” (★★★★) RNR Magazine

“…merges classic rock, art rock, and powerful melodies/harmonies. It features many David Bowie collaborators including guitarists Earl Slick and Mark Plati. ‘Should’ve Known Better’ rockets to catchy heights. ‘Go (Hold on Tight)’ spotlights Plati’s baritone guitar and notably reflects Bowie’s experimental bent. ‘Feel It’ is a resonant rocker.” –VINTAGE GUITAR

“Their sound is distinctively Bowiesque: crunchy power chords leading the way into a supremely catchy tune whose infectious hook will immediately have fans finding parallels with their late idol.”Louder Than War

“…new band with a fresh art rock aesthetic…impeccable musicianship”
– Andy Kaufmann, Music Connection (January 2024)

Last week, UK band KillerStar released their debut album which received critical acclaim with 4* reviews in The Times, MOJO and RNR Magazine. Now they prepare to play their headline album launch show tomorrow (March 16) at London’s 100 Club. The band’s founders Rob Fleming (vocals, guitar, synths) and James Sedge (drums) will be joined by three of the key musicians on the album in the shape of keyboardist Mike Garson, guitarist Mark Plati, and vocalist Emm Gryner (who will also play an opening solo set), along with keyboardist Dom Beken (Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets, The Orb), and guitarist Kevin Armstrong.

Today (March 15), they also release of a brand-new video for the track “Feel It.” Watch it HERE.

KillerStar is a new band led by Rob Fleming and James Sedge which features an array of David Bowie’s most trusted collaborators: Mike Garson on piano, Earl Slick and Mark Plati on guitar, Gail Ann Dorsey and Tim Lefebvre on bass, Emm Gryner on backing vocals, and Donny McCaslin on saxophone. Collectively they have crafted a sound which fuses the scale of classic rock with sophisticated harmonies and elements of art rock.

KillerStar express timeless ‘70s musicianship and art-rock invention through a contemporary prism, highlighted by the singles “Got Me All Wrong,” “Falling Through”, You’re A Chameleon and “Should’ve Known Better.” The band was formed by Fleming and Sedge to capture a sound that they felt was missing: one that linked the current resurgence of psychedelia, the contemporary indie and alternative scenes, and the primal rush of early ‘70s rock ‘n’ roll. While they were definitively David Bowie fans, the idea of assembling a team of his collaborators arose more by chance than design when Rob invited Emm Gryner to contribute vocals before the other members arrived almost fortuitously.

With songs exuding gritty rock ‘n’ roll and time-honoured glamour, the record was full written and arranged by Rob and James before being completed by some suitably top tier collaborators. Mixing was provided by Dave Eringa, best known for his long-term creative connection with Manic Street Preachers, while digital mastering was provided by Joe La Porta and vinyl mastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road.

The album is available HERE on limited edition 180-gram gold vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital formats.

Album Tracklisting:

  1. Should’ve Known Better
  2. Everybody Loves A Hero
  3. Got Me All Wrong
  4. Go (Hold On Tight)
  5. You’re A Chameleon
  6. Feel It
  7. Too Late
  8. Falling Through

“An album more than 10 years in the making…”

That’s how singer, songwriter, author, Broadway star, and actor SEBASTIAN BACH describes his new album CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN set for release May 10 on Reigning Phoenix Music. The 11-track album was recorded in Orlando, Florida; produced and mixed by Elvis Baskette; engineered by Jef Moll, assistant engineered by Josh Saldate and mastered by Robert Ludwig/Gateway Mastering. BACH wrote or co-wrote all the album’s tracks and sang all lead and backing vocals. CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN features guest appearances from John 5, Steve Stevens, and Orianthi—who all co-wrote their respective tracks with BACH—and two tracks co-written with Myles Kennedy (“What Do I Got to Lose?” and “To Live Again’); Devin Bronson on guitars, Todd Kerns (bass) and Jeremy Coulson (drums) round out the players on the album. The album will be available on CD (Jewelcase), cassette and double LP in a variety of color options. Pre-save the album HERE.

This week will also mark the release of SEBASTIAN’s first-ever lyric performance video for the album’s “Everybody Bleeds.” The song—with lyrics by BACH—addresses the universal truths of pain with such lines as “Everybody bleeds/Everybody burns/Everybody drowns…” Watch the lyric video HERE.

“I have been putting out records since the year 1989,” SEBASTIAN says. “Thank YOU for 35 years of Bach N’ Roll…all leading up to CHILD WITHIN tHE MAN! If you like the records I have put out in the past, I can GUARANTEE that you will enjoy the new album. THIS is the kind of Rock  N’ Roll that keeps you young ! Can’t wait for you all to crank up CHILD WITHIN THE MAN—a magical elixir to the Fountain of Youth! Gone Wild! Forever! It’s all one big song! TURN IT UP!”

The album artwork holds special meaning since it was designed by BACH’s father, noted visual artist David Bierk. “This album artwork was started in 1978 and finished in 2024!” SEBASTIAN says.

BACH adds, “RPM Records has provided me with the ultimate rock ‘n’ roll fantasy dream come true…to make my ultimate rock ‘n’ roll record! With the team of players & production on this album, I can honestly say we have made the best record that we could possibly make! The packaging is of the highest standard in every way. The vinyl, cd & cassette formats all have been made to exact specifications! The 45 RPM double gatefold sleeve vinyl editions come in three eco-formats which are the highest standard of vinyl sound. Plus multicolored variations including a Glow in the Dark special for all you rock collectors out there!”

Everybody Bleeds
Freedom (featuring John 5)
(Hold On) To The Dream
What Do I Got to Lose?
Hard Darkness
Future of Youth (featuring Orianthi)
Vendetta
F.U. (featuring Steve Stevens)
Crucify Me
About To Break
To Live Again

In advance of the album’s release, BACH will hit the road in 2024 for an international tour with dates in Latin and North America. The “What Do I Got To Lose?” Tour is a mix of solo gigs and festival appearances that kicks off with an international run of performances in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, and Chile before North American shows in the U.S. and Mexico. The stateside tour gets underway May 10 in Jefferson, LA before wrapping June 29 in San Diego, CA. Click HERE for all ticketing info and to purchase tickets.

All this news follows SEBASTIAN’s exciting end to 2023, which included an appearance on Fox’s The Masked Singer as “Tiki,” a fan and judge favorite who went on to show’s Group B Finals. As ROLLING STONE noted, “Ahead of Tiki’s reveal, panelist Nicole Scherzinger applauded his performance, saying, “You’re a brilliant vocalist, you can do anything with your voice…’”

The album’s first single What Do I Got To Lose?” continues to build momentum at rock radio, trending in the Top 40 on the Mediabase’s Active Rock Daily spin chart. It was co-written by SEBASTIAN, Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash), and Elvis Baskette (Mammoth WVH, Slash), the latter of whom also served as the track’s producer.

“Mr. Guitar,” the first single from the upcoming multi-artist album WE STILL CAN’T SAY GOODBYE – A Musicians’ Tribute to Chet Atkins, has been released today (Friday, March 15) to all streaming platforms via Morningstar Music Productions, with distribution worldwide by MVD Entertainment (see the track listing below.) “Mr. Guitar” is performed by 2024 Grammy Award-winning guitarist and acoustic guitarist extraordinaire Tommy Emmanuel—who became one of five people ever named a C.G.P. (Certified Guitar Player) by his idol, music icon Chet Atkins—and Grammy-winning bluegrass fiddler Michael Cleveland. Listen to the song HERE and view a sizzle reel about the album HERE.

Featuring 15 tracks and 22 artists from the from the country, rock, bluegrass and acoustic musical realms, WE STILL CAN’T SAY GOODBYE – A Musicians’ Tribute to Chet Atkins was conceived and produced by 3-time Grammy-winning, bluegrass and country songwriter, producer and guitarist Carl Jackson. He is a longtime Glen Campbell collaborator, vocal arranger for TRIO II with Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris and Dolly Parton; Jackson also produced the 2003 Grammy-winning Country Album of the Year Livin’, Lovin’, Losin’ – Songs Of The Louvin Brothers. He has additionally had songs recorded by Garth Brooks, Ricky Skaggs, Rhonda Vincent, Emmylou Harris, and Trisha Yearwood.

“The C.G.P Chet awarded Tommy [Emmanuel] doesn’t go quite far enough,” says Jackson. “So, as Chet would say, ‘by the power invested in me,’ I’d like to add a word: ‘Certified Gentleman Guitar Player” or C.G.G.P. which is a more complete description of the man whose warm smile and sincere kindness is displayed without fail. With that same sincerity, he [Tommy] told me, ‘We’ve got to have Michael Cleveland.’ I thought it was perfectly appropriate, since Chet played a little fiddle in his early years, and I know how much he would have loved Michael’s back and forth with Tommy.”

“Mentoring and encouraging people is something that Chet always did,” says Emmanuel, one of five people ever named a C.G.P. by Chet Atkins. “I try to do this thing with Gareth (Pearson), and I try to do the same with all young people. I encourage them to do things that I learned from Chet. I hope that somewhere somehow, I showed somebody something because of him that changed their life and made their life better. Cause he sure did that for me.”

Michael Cleveland shares: “Every opportunity I’ve had to work with my musical heroes has been an honor, and to be invited by one of them to record on a tribute to the legendary Chet Atkins is very humbling. Tommy [Emmanuel] and I worked together in 2019 when, on a leap of faith, I asked him to be a guest on my album, Tall Fiddler, titled after a song he wrote. I was thrilled when he said yes, but I had no idea that would turn into the friendship it has. Chet’s reputation for being an incredible guitarist is known worldwide, and although I never had the chance to meet him in person, I’ve heard so many stories about his kindness and mentoring. I certainly feel that was extended to me when Tommy asked if I would record “Mr. Guitar” with him.”

“Mr. Guitar” was recorded at Station West in Nashville, TN with Luke Wooten engineering and mixing. Additional musicians on the track are Tony Creasman on drums and percussion, and Kevin Grantt on bass.

CHET ATKINS is the most recorded solo instrumentalist in music history who traveled far to become “Mr. Guitar.” The journey took the legendary icon from Appalachian poverty to international acclaim, from utter obscurity to three Halls of Fame. He is a 14x Grammy Award winner, a Grammy Lifetime Achievement recipient, A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and a Country Music Hall of Fame inductee.

Now, for the very first time on one album, some of the world’s best guitar players and artists join together to pay a musicians’ tribute to the innovator, songwriter, producer, record company executive and visionary Chet Atkins, as Nashville and the music industry prepare to celebrate what would have been his 100th birthday on June 20.

The track listing for WE STILL CAN’T SAY GOOD BYE is as follows:
1. Mr. Guitar: Tommy Emmanuel C.G.P. & Michael Cleveland
2. Lover Come Back To Me: Brent Mason

ABOUT MORNINGSTAR MUSIC PRODUCTIONS:

Morningstar Music Productions was created by executive producers and longtime great friends Rodger Glaspey and Ken Leister. The two partners performed in groups that recorded albums during the 70’s as collegians during the Folk/Rock invasion. Producer and musician Carl Jackson approached Rodger and Ken with the desire to produce an album to honor Chet Atkins. The temptation to executive produce an album in Nashville paying homage to Chet Atkins with some of the finest artists and guitar players in the world including Vince Gill, Tommy Emmanuel, Brad Paisley, and other greats was too captivating to pass up… and thus, Morningstar Music Productions was born, with their first album release We Still Can’t Say Good Bye – A Musicians’ Tribute To Chet Atkins out April 19.

“A BRAND NEW DAY” SINGLE ART

DAVID MALLOY today (March 13) shares the second single and video “A Brand New Day,” from his upcoming debut album MIRROR out April 26 via Nashville-based indie label Creative People with distribution by CmfShft. Written by the legendary songwriter, it’s an uplifting song about second chances in life and delivers an upbeat vibe with a feel- good message of hope. “I love this track and it always puts a smile on my face—the way I want to wake up every morning” says Malloy. Listen to the song HERE and watch the beautifully surreal video HERE. Pre-save the album HERE.

A Brand New Day” was co-produced with Paul Childers and recorded at County Q studios in Nashville. He shares: “It starts with birds singing, a tribute to my mother who always fed birds, and then sonically sweeps into me pounding out the rhythm the song was written around. I got the idea early one morning while taking my dog ‘DJ’ out for a short walk. I was stopped by how beautiful the colors in the sky were that morning and when I looked toward the west, I could still clearly see the moon in the sky. Standing there I said, ‘Good morning sunshine. Good night moon’ and then my next line is what I say to my wife Kathy, “good morning sweet love, good morning to you.” I wrote the rest of the lyrics about second chances, one more time to get it right, to make amends if you’re a ‘cold heart breaker’ and acknowledging the spirit, the soul and the one whose always in control.’”

The colors MALLOY saw in the sky that morning helped to inspire the look and feel of the “A Brand New Day” video and to cast his dog “DJ,” a three year old 100% German shepherd, in it. The video was directed by Andrew Rozario for Casting Life Films with animator, Beau Burnette and illustrator, Ian Buchanan.

MIRROR ALBUM COVER

MIRROR is a journal of DAVID MALLOY’s life, his love and the loss of his only son who passed away 18 years ago. MALLOY stepped back from his career for a time but was re-inspired to create once again when a conversation over dinner with friends and a psychic medium happened to be at the table. She offered MALLOY a private reading, from which he said he normally does not subscribe to that sort of thing, but a message was given to him from his son asking him why he wasn’t writing songs, thus triggering the music and the lyrics that surfaced from his heart and soul and now appear on this album that comes out April 26. The album’s first single and official music video “I Play Gimme Shelter” was released January 11. Listen to the song HERE, watch the YouTube video HERE and read the press release HERE.

Throughout his career, DAVID MALLOY has been lauded for his technique of “becoming” the artist he was writing for or producing, similar to an actor getting into character. Many agree that this was a key to his success. He is credited with creating the crossover-influenced sound of country music that defined the genre in the 80’s and 90’s. He’s produced artists Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, Mindy McReady, Reba McEntire, Rodney Crowell, Rosanne Cash and more. As a songwriter, David Malloy was inducted into the 2022 Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame along with Shania Twain, Steve Wariner, Hillary Lindsey and Gary Nicholson and has co-penned numerous songs with Even Stevens and recording artist Eddie Rabbitt throughout Eddie’s career (whom MALLOY produced.) He has had his songs recorded by artists in multi-genres of music such as Badfinger, Bettye LaVette, Billy Burnette, Dr. Hook, Fleetwood Mac, Gregg Allman Band, Julianne Hough, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Tim McGraw, Roy Orbison and many more.

LITTLE FEAT To Release ‘Sam’s Place,’ First New Studio Album In 12 Years 5/17; First Single/Video “You’ll Be Mine” Out Today

LITTLE FEAT, one of rock’s signature and most acclaimed bands, are inviting everyone to join them over at SAM’S PLACE. Due out May 17 on Hot Tomato Productions/MRI.

It marks the band’s first new studio album in 12 years, first-ever blues album and the first one to feature linchpin conga player Sam Clayton on lead vocals on every song. This joyously blues-soaked party gets started today (March 7) with the album’s first single/video “You’ll Be Mine,” a cover of the Willie Dixon-written chestnut popularized by Howlin’ Wolf. Watch the video HERE, stream the song HERE, and pre-order/pre-save the album HERE. See the full track listing below and view the band’s extensive “Can’t Be Satisfied Tour” dates HERE and below.

The members of LITTLE FEAT 2024 are: Bill Payne, Keyboards and Vocals; Sam Clayton, Percussion and Vocals; Fred Tackett, Guitars and Vocals, Kenny Gradney, Bass; Scott Sharrard, Guitars and Vocals; and Tony Leone, drums and vocals. Their individual musical chops and collective chemistry light up the nine-track SAM’S PLACE, which was waxed at Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, TN (August 2023), except for “Got My Mojo Working (Live),” recorded live at the Boulder Theatre in Boulder, CO (December 17, 2022). This is the first LITTLE FEAT album recorded with new members Sharrard and Leone.

The band’s longtime friend, the beloved Bonnie Raitt, provides vocals on the Muddy Waters gem “Long Distance Call,” a duet with Sam, and the album’s other special guests are Michael “Bull” LoBue on harmonica, Marc Franklin on trumpet, and Art Edmaiston on saxophone on select songs.

LITTLE FEAT emerged from the pandemic with their sense of humor, chops, and collective joy in playing intact—and their creativity has been renewed with SAM’S PLACE. The idea for the album started with Bill, but the whole band jumped in. They started working on songs at sound checks. Sam, Scott and Fred wrote a new song, “Milk Man.” Visiting backstage at a FEAT show, Bonnie Raitt suggested the Howlin’ Wolf tune “You Will Be Mine.” Scott suggested “Why People Like That,” a Bobby Charles tune. Sam chose the Willy Dixon-penned “Don’t Go No Further,” a deep Muddy track. And they included a live version of “Got My Mojo Working.”

Scott had recorded in Memphis, and they eventually found their way to the second Phillips (the first was Sun Studios, where Elvis began his career) studio there, complete with Jerry Lee Lewis’s piano, which Bill noted “practically played itself.” FEAT’s a rock band, but as Scott observed, at the end “the blues is home,” and they basically recorded it live in the studio, in the tradition. Their playing is at an all-time high, and Bill thought their musical conversation was “flawless.”

Sam was a happy vocalist. His own “Milk Man,” a song about his nephew, has lyrics from his wife, Joni. The duet with Bonnie on “Long Distance Call,” he humbly admitted, was classic. “We go good together, man.” “Last Night” was done in memory of Sam’s very good friend, the late Ed Bradley of Sixty Minutes. And “Why People Like That” was particularly satisfying. “I just like the way the slide sounds and everything. I knew Scott is a great slide player too, plus he is a great lead guitarist. And I know we would put our touch to it, the Little Feat touch. So we just sort of did it. Scott just adds a lot to it and he answers to what I’m singing.”

SAM’S PLACE scratches a deep itch. Sam added, “I’m very happy because I was never expecting anything like that. I mean, I have wanted to, but I just wasn’t expecting it to come to fruition. It was a long wait, but it’s satisfying.”

Here’s the track listing for SAM’S PLACE:

  1. Milkman- Written by Sam Clayton (ASCAP), Fred Tackett for Hoceanna Music (ASCAP), and Scott Sharrard for Brickyard Blues Music BMI
  2. You’ll Be Mine – Written by Willie Dixon for Hoochie Coochie Music (BMI)
  3. Long Distance Call – Written by Muddy Waters for Watertoons (BMI)
  4. Don’t Go No Further – Written by Willie Dixon for Hoochie Coochie Music (BMI)

  7. Why People Like That – Written by Bobby Charles for Street People Songs (BMI)
  8. Mellow Down Easy – Written by Willie Dixon for BMG Bumblebee (BMI)

ABOUT LITTLE FEAT:

The members of Little Feat emerged from the pandemic with their sense of humor, chops, and collective joy in playing intact on their 2024 album Sam’s Place. Over the past three years, they’ve focused tours on their epic live album Waiting for Columbus and re-issues of some of their classic albums (Sailin’ Shoes, Dixie Chicken, and Waiting for Columbus). Audience response has been rapturous. The band builds on a deep, over 50-year history. Little Feat used a combination of elite musicianship and brilliant, idiosyncratic songwriting to create a repertoire that transcends all boundaries. California rock, funk, folk, jazz, country and rockabilly mixed with New Orleans swamp boogie led to a powerful sound that has kept the audience dancing for decades. Their groove – in songs like “Dixie Chicken,” “Spanish Moon,” “Fat Man in the Bathtub,” and “Feats Don’t Fail Me Now” is a continuous thread of excellence that embraces the qualities of exploration that make up Little Feat, its music, while honoring their brothers that began this journey decades ago: Lowell George, Richie Hayward, and Paul Barrere. Their legacy is honest and durable with no end in sight. It has always been about the songs and musicianship. They’re in top form now with Scott Sharrard on lead gutiar/vox and Tony Leone on drums/vox, and with founder Bill Payne on keys/vox, Fred Tackett on guitars/vox, Kenny Gradney on bass, and Sam Clayton on percussion/vox.

Veteran California singer-songwriter-guitarist JEFF LARSON today (March 6) has shared the lyric video for “Something of A Dream” ahead of the single’s release this Friday (March 8). With its warm California rock-rooted sound, the track marks the first release from the melodically sparkling ADOBE HOME album and features Gerry Beckley of AMERICA, who co-produced the 13-track disc with LARSON, on bass, electric lead guitar and organ. The album is out April 26 on Nashville-based Melody Place. Watch the colorful video HERE, read a Q&A below with LARSON, and pre-save the single HERE.

The video was premiered yesterday by Wildfire Music, which noted: “Coming from an album that takes inspiration from California, it’s not surprising that the lyric video for ‘Something of a Dream’ does fit very well with the colors and moods of Adobe Home. While lyric videos vary widely, the animated quality of this one does add considerably to the poetic feeling and imagery of the track, taking us into golden hour colors, terra cotta interiors, and out onto the desert highway, too. It’s a definite bonus to the experience of the song to see this flowing and inviting video alongside it.”

LARSON wrote eight of the songs on ADOBE HOME: two with legendary songwriter Jack Tempchin (of the Eagles’ “Peaceful Easy Feeling” fame); one with Beckley, and one with Robert Lamm of Chicago. It’s an album with subject matter that touches on people, places, and things with styles ranging from Americana, folk-rock, power pop, and some jazz elements. See the track listing below and read the album launch press release HERE. The album comes on the heels of IT’LL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, his acclaimed 2023 six-song tribute EP to the late iconic singer and songwriter Tim Hardin.

Here’s a Q&A with LARSON about “Something of A Dream.”

“Something of a Dream” Q&A with JEFF LARSON

“Something of a Dream” is the album’s first single. Can you talk about why you feel it’s a good introduction to the album? 

JEFF LARSON: Of course, I’m partial to all the songs on the album, but it’s a mark of good songcraft to have one that goes from major to minor in its feel with a good hook to carry it on.  I think “Something of a Dream” fits that.

The song has a gorgeous California rock-rooted sound—it’s a winning combination with an ear-catching lilting melody, ringing guitars, and resonant harmonies. Can you talk about what inspired the song musically? 

LARSON: I love jangly pop-folk-rock music and bands like REM (“The One I Love”) and Real Estate to The Byrds, Beatles, Moody Blues, etc.  It’s fun for me since the riff I play at the top of the chorus is something I’ve had around since high school. Things like riffs and melodies seem to hang around until they’re exercised.  The pandemic was a bit of a reset of innocence when it came to songwriting and recording so a lot of things came out for me.  I was just approaching things for the song and the feel.  I also hadn’t written on electric guitar in a while, and this was one of several songs that originated from that so it’s fresh to me.

Gerry Beckley, with whom you co-produced the album, is featured on bass, electric lead guitar, and organ. What’s it like for you guys to work together?  

LARSON: We have been collaborating in some fashion for many years now.  The pandemic accelerated that activity with the downtime for songwriting, recording, and the back and forth on tracking instruments, backing vocals, and the overall production process. There is a backlog of material even now of my song recordings as well as his new solo release due in 2024, that I co-produced, sang backing vocals, etc.  The issue for us is not output, it’s outlets.  Melody Place, as a label, has been kind of enough to give this material a hearing and let some air out of the ballon for what tends to build up for me.

The song has open-ended lyrics about a romance: “And I remember the way you looked with your eyes so far away.” What inspired this song? The lyrics have a haunting feel. 

LARSON: Lyrically, this came from observations of friends’ relationships and my own past experiences.  It has some longing, frustration, melancholy, and a little psychedelic imagery with a line like “from the desert to the sea inside.”  I discovered the Days of Future Passed by The Moody Blues in 2021 (yes, just getting to it) and maybe some of that vibe came through.

The video has beautiful atmospheric images of the American southwest, the ocean, and adobe homes with the lyrics superimposed. Why do you feel this visualization is a good way for listeners/viewers to experience the song?  

LARSON: I’ve always been attracted to songs that paint pictures with the music and lyrics.  It’s one of those areas, if handled well, that can keep a song from becoming pedestrian.  Regarding the imagery of the video, I worked with a neighbor I met around the time I started recording Adobe Home.  Ryan Corey and I connected on shared musical interests, and he was a graphics designer with Smog Design in L.A.  We discussed that it should connect to the album graphics which he designed and to make those come alive a bit.  It fits the vibe of the song and provides a window into the album as a whole.”

ABOUT JEFF LARSON:

JEFF LARSON is a veteran singer-songwriter from the San Francisco Bay area. Musically, Jeff got his start under the wing of producer Elliot Mazer (Neil Young, The Band) playing in clubs and venues throughout the Bay area. As a native Californian, the influences are obviously present and reach from the golden era of L.A.’s Laurel Canyon singer-songwriter scene to the Bay area’s musical heritage and the tension between the two. While remaining a solo artist, he’s collaborated with Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell of America, Chicago’s Robert Lamm, John Blakeley of The Sandals, and Eagles songwriter Jack Tempchin, among others. His prolific body of work created over the years has been released by various means and labels with licensing opportunities with JVC Victor Japan, Universal / Rhino, BMG and others from The Netherlands to Japan. “Larson’s earnest vocals and unwaveringly engaging folk-rock-country songs have an alluring feel,” wrote the San Jose Mercury News in 2011 about his album The World Over. “Larson’s warm, wonderful songs will grab you immediately and just get better with each subsequent listening. Every one of the 10 numbers here proves to be an individual gem.”
