THE GIFT: "Kiss And Tell"

With Jimmy Mainline 'round 1989. Jimmy and I were doing a kind of bastardized rockabilly thing...trying to give Spedding and Robert Gordon a run for their money lol!

Jimmy on acoustic and vocals, Joe Trump on drums, and myself on electric guitar and backing vox.  Produced by me, engineered by Drew Vogelman, mixed by Bob Stander and myself. Recorded at Harold Dessau, NYC

ROCKABILLY HEAVEN

In tribute to Joe Perry, who we hope gets well really soon, Patti Rothberg and I whipped up this little Aerosmith inspired power ballad. Produced and engineered by me, and I did my best on the guitar solo to emulate the one Mr. Perry played in "Amazing". Patti Rothberg on lead and backing vox, acoustic guitar and piano, myself on all electric guitars and bass, Steve Holley on drums, and Pamela Goodchild on backing vox. This track will be on the forthcoming Patti Rothberg album "Mercy For The Angels".

Get well soon Joe!! We would never have been playing guitar this way without you!

Fabienne Shine - Worth More When I'm Dead

Theme song for the unfortunately short-lived NBC show "Women Who Rock", produced by Miranda Patterson.

Ms. Patterson enlisted Patti Rothberg to write the theme song, "Sugar & Spice" and hired me to produce and engineer the recording. Given the theme of the show only women musicians were used.

WOMEN WHO ROCK

SUGAR AND SPICE (NBC)

Got a nice shoutout from rock writer extraordinaire David Fricke, on his "Writer's Block" radio show for my involvement in this new live album from ALT (Split Enz/Crowded House's Tim Finn, Andy White, and Hothouse Flowers' Liam Ó Maonlai). In this excerpt he talks about the band and plays a couple of tracks. You can stream or buy the album here:

Here's the story:

"Very happy to announce that as of November 30th a magnificent 1995 Tramps concert will be released for free worldwide on the exact 25th anniversary of its original show. On that date 25 years ago ALT, comprised of singer-songwriter Andy White, Liam Ó Maonlai (Hothouse Flowers) and Tim Finn (Split Enz, Crowded House) landed at our humble club and delivered a primarily acoustic-based gem of a show to a wildly appreciative audience very familiar with their individual careers. The crowd was excited to see what they could come up with together on that brief U.S. tour and they delivered spectacularly. Fortunately the tape was problem-free after all these years. After having it mastered (thank you Freddie Katz) the guys decided to share this special show with their fans and it will be available on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music/iTunes and other platforms. Also, there is a new Facebook page for ALT - Live at Tramps NYC ,1995. Please share this terrific news! And enjoy the concert."
