Blue Rose Records
-- My European label and home of many fine artists and friends
such as Steve Wynn, Russ Tolman, Continental Drifters, Schramms
Home of Fireproof
studios in Brooklyn, NY. where I recorded "It's About
Time". Owned and operated by Adam "Red" Lasus,
who co-produced "It's About Time". All around great
guy and fantastic engineer/producer whose credits include Mark
Mulcahy, Dumptruck, Yo La Tengo, Julianna Hatfield, Chris Harford,
and many others.
Uttered the following words one
very late night working on It's About Time. "Hey, I was mixing
on a tiny, little Mackie in the womb"
Mezzotint -- Label home
to Mark Mulcahy, Polaris, and Miracle Legion. Run by long time
friend, original Dumptruck drummer, and very original and talented
singer, songwriter Mark Mulcahy.
Dumptuck -- The
band Seth Tiven and I began in 1983 and which I put out two records
with, D is For and Positively. After my departure Seth continued
on with a number of fine records, the latest being "lemmings
travel to the sea" which includes a bonus c.d. comprised
of live material recorded at the one and only CBGB's and features
Spike Priggen and yours truly.
Home of John Wesley Harding,
good friend, fantastic singer-songwriter and man with a penchant
for chronic wit. I also happen to be a full-fledged member of
Wes' touring band "the Radical Gentlemen" .
Robert Lloyd has one of the best tour diaries going.
Home to Steve Wynn, long
time friend, ex-label mate from his Dream Syndicate days and my
Dumptruck days. Though we didn't know eachother at the time of
label- sharing we would become friends, I would tour extensively
with him, and he would co-produce "It's About Time".
A truly original songsmith and a man with a love of cuisine, not
always "fine" however.
Russ Tolman and I met
back when he was in True West and I was in Dumptruck. We played
a couple shows back East and though he doesn't remember much of
the shows I remembered him as he was the only one in his band
that spoke a word to us. I've played guitar for Russ on a number
of tours and on the record "Sweet Spot". He's put out
many fine solo records since his True West days, all approached
in very different and original ways.
Chris Harford -- Another
gentleman I've known since my Boston, Dumptuck days. A truly remarkable
singer songwriter with a beautiful, unique voice.
Ron Sexsmith -- One of
my favorite contemporary singer-songwriters. Has a hauntingly
sweet, beautiful voice and songwriting style that hints of classics
but sounds in no way anachronistic.
Chuck Prophet -- Ex-Green
on Red guitar slinger turned singer-songwriter who's put out five
remarkable solo records.
Home to Chris Von Sneidern,
San Francisco pop-genius, singer-songwriter, producer, and fellow
Radical Gentlemen band member.
