This is a straight up gospel tune that I played on with Chris producing and playing the guitars, and Darryl Thrill Hill singing leads and back-ups. Now this was fun...

ALMIGHTY

This is another track that Chris and Darryl did that I just put finishing bass parts on. There is a lot of stuff that Chris is working on that is being shopped to other artists - some legendary, some younger and newer. This was co-written by Danny Schogger and Alan Glass.

One Real Song - Wishing Chair

This is a rough mix of "Come Back (Light Therapy)" as recorded by the Saturdays from the West Johnson sessions.

COME BACK (Light Therapy) - The Saturdays

I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You

Two Tangled Touch

This is a track that I played slap bass on for a British R&B artist named Haydon. When the final record came out this song had completely changed. The entire groove had been changed to be more of an old school thing. Will Lee played bass on the final version.

The Way

Kate Bradshaw - Losing My Faith

This is the studio version of “Fighting the Hood” by the Outriders. The Hood is obviously the KKK. This is a story song and details the events that took place in 1955 involving young Emmett Louis Till. While visiting relatives in Mississippi, this young black Chicagoan, not understanding the profundity of racism there, accepted a dare to address an attractive white woman in a grocery store. He went in, bought some candy, and on the way out allegedly said "bye, baby." One observer claimed he had only whistled at her. A couple of days later, the woman's husband and his brother-in-law took him from the home he was visiting and drove him to the Tallahatchie River where they made him strip, beat him, gouged out one of his eyes and shot him in the head. They threw his body, with a 75 lb. fan attached, into the river.
Many historians feel he inadvertently started the American civil rights movement. The level of ignorance and hatred that lead to this act should never be forgotten.


The Outriders - Fighting The Hood

BLACKBIRD   LIVING ROOM

I have been very lucky to work with some brilliant writers, players and producers over the years. Most of these tracks were recorded using either a Tobias 5-string, A Sadowsky 5-string, or a 4-string custom made bass by Ron Ruggiero (he has made both a fretted and fretless bass for me and they are both featured here)
