The finishing of "Rio Grande Cryin"

At long last "Rio Grande Cryin" is packaged and ready to ship.  A couple of copies have already found their way out into the world.  It turned out to be quite a lovely DIY project.   My lovely wife Patti was kind enough to find the perfect image to license and work with me on designing the inner and outer cover.  Her help was invaluable.

Of course I want to give thanks and props to Michael Ferenci and Raul Duarte.  Ferenci contributed a number of great guitar and bass tracks on this collection and also did a fair amount of production work.  Mr. Duarte took a tune "Winter in Santa Fe"  which had a great guitar solo on it, but was otherwise lackluster, and turned it into a gem with a live bass line and some great production techniques.

The purchase of a "light scribe" drive allowed us to finish off the project with some stock lettering burned into the disc which looks pretty cool.

The new final album cover....

Finishing an Album

Well that magic moment has come.  All the music for Rio Grande Cryin' is completed and mixed.  However, there is still much to do.  In my last post I lamented how difficult it was to work through all the decisions involved in making an album cover.  In my experience most projects tend to play out that way.

There is this period of almost confusion I want to say, when there is too much input and the process of selecting filters is just starting.  That process goes on for an indefinite amount of time until things just begin to click.  Particularly when the process is not under any kind of undue force.

So here is the front cover as it stands now.

And the back cover as it stands-still needs some credits
