    I recorded this album - over many burritos - at Mission Bells studio in San Francisco and released it in 2008. It was produced by the one and only Tim Bluhm of the Mother Hips - an incredible songwriter and performer as well as a gifted producer. David Simon-Baker, aka DSB, engineered it at MB and mixed the hell out of it at Laughing Tiger in Sausalito. I had such a blast making this record. I was joined by an illustrious gang of Bay Area/SoCal musicians: Adam Topol (drums), John Hofer (drums), Paul Hoaglin (bass), Jackie Greene (piano, organ), Dan Lebowitz (guitar), Nicki Bluhm (backing vocals), Sara Johnston (backing vocals), Tim Bluhm (guitar, backing vocals) and Dave Ralicke (horns).

    It comes in this 4-panel eco-digipak with a lyric book and the enhanced CD includes a video documentary filmed and edited by award-winning filmmaker, Banker White. Artwork and design by CloudRaker and Kevin Peacock.

lyrics

GO EASY

Your message said you’d be OK
I hate it when you lie to me
But I am just too far away
To help much to calm your sea
The hanging judge is at your door
The serpent’s underneath your bed
You summon all your angels out
They tell you it’s in your head
And this may hurt for just a while
But it always comes out right//

Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight
Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight//

When all the secret codes you know
Can’t seem to unlock the door
And all the roads that led you home
Don’t arrive there anymore
Don’t scare yourself by thinking that
You’ve lost your only light//

Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight
Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight//

When all the pretty temples you built
Make you want to tear them down
You’re crying over milk you spilt
Long before it hit the ground
Pull your mad genie back inside
And screw the lid on tight//

Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight
Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight
Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight
Go easy, go easy on yourself tonight//
