--------------

A music executive/record company owner once told me that an artist should never print something on an album cover that was self-effacing or questioning of the music therein. That said, not everyone will love this album, because it is a very, very Vance album. It does the typical Vance all across the map thing, even more than some previous releases, stylistically careening from early ’70’s R&B to acoustic swing to AC (Almost Celtic) to Spoken Word. Just being honest..

Here’s hoping you enjoy this dance across the parquet that is my style-blending, genre-appropriating music-mind. The record exec? Well, he sold his company. Nice guy, tons of money, but he still doesn’t sing.

Produced and arranged by Vance. All songs & pieces written by Vance Gilbert (c) 2019 Disismye Music (ASCAP)
except Wildflower (c) KOBALT MUSIC by Doug Edwards and Dave Richardson
