    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

I’M IN, COME IN

I’m in, come in
I’m in, come in
All of this time where have you been
Stuck in a box of paper wings
Worried about the strangest things
Now I’m afraid I’m gonna pop
If I begin I’ll never stop
This is the head from which I think
These are the eyes from which I blink
Doing the dance upon the knife
Trying to carve a second life
One with a cherry on the top
If I begin I’ll never stop//

And I’m fading
I’m fading
But I don’t want to go
But, I don’t want to go
I’m fading
I’m fading
But I don’t want to go
But, I don’t want to go//

I’ve got a gypsy hobo heart
I’ve always known it from the start
It keeps me wondering what to do
It’s gonna to split me right in two
Can’t find the cure in any shop
If I begin I’ll never stop
I want to go to Mexico
Find me a beach that no one knows
Ride every wave that comes along
Not ever wonder if it’s wrong
All I would need is just a drop
If I begin I’ll never stop//

And I’m fading
I’m fading
But I don’t want to go
But, I don’t want to go
I’m fading
I’m fading
But I don’t want to go
But, I don’t want to go//

Show me the way I feel alone
Hand me the bloody microphone
If this is it I won’t complain
From all that I can ascertain
I’d never want to make a swap
If I begin I’ll never stop
Know that I love you everyday
Know that I try in my own way
To be the leaf that floats along
To be the maker of the song
I’m in, come in, I’m in, come in
God willing I will now begin//

And I’m fading
I’m fading
But I don’t want to go
But, I don’t want to go
I’m fading
I’m fading
But I don’t want to go
But, I don’t want to go//
