In my ever-growing effort to give the people what they want (that’s you CJ) I have gone into the vault of my musical history and pulled out this gem. It is a previously unreleased version of my song “The Times”. It was recorded with my faithful band “The Juice” at an acoustic gig we did in 2004. It is probably one of the most unique recordings of this song I have on file since we changed it up for that show only. Check it out on my purevolume site and see what you think.

This weekend I experienced a songwriting first. I sat down in my studio early one afternoon to play around and prepare for my afternoon lesson and in the matter less than two hours, start to finish, I had written and recorded a new song. For those of you that know me you know this is not my normal process, in songwriting or anything else for that matter, but for some reason it really worked for me.

The song is a little different than most songs that I write, but I still feel it has a lot of my style in it. The other funny thing is that the lyrics came very easily, yet they still carry a lot of meaning for me. So, feel free to take a listen and let me know what you think. I always appreciate honest feedback.

Remeber this is a rough cut, and has not been mixed or mastered. The final cut will be released at a later date.
