Are you completly satisfied about your last work?
Yes, I am completely satisfied with my last album Ka-ju-tah. I took about a year, on and off to complete it...I did some songwriting at home, I did some sonwriting in the studio..sort of on the spot, I went to different studios and worked with different engineers and the music, from song to song was different...no rush, just make an honest album that said something about my soul. Even doing a song with Steve Wynn was diifferent...I recorded the music in Tucson, sent it to him in New york, he wrote and recorded the lyrics in his home and then sent it back to me..and we mixed it in Tucson..and I never saw him once!
Wich are the most important ispiration for doing this new album?
Inspiration for this new album? My wife and daughter, appreciation for my life, great musician friends who support me, traveling to Bahia del Kino, Mexico to camp out in Seri Land, God.
Is There some others artists that you think important to reccomend us?
other artists I like...Steve Wynn, The Reverend Schulzz( a crazy German musician), Paul Westerburg..formerly of the Replacements, JESUS ACEDO FROM BLACK SUN ENSEMBLE....HE IS A TUCSON LEGEND!
Are there some others projects for the your future?
.Other projects I have coming out:
1.MONSTROS DE TUCSON ROCK...which is an album that had allot of my old friends playing and writing songs with me like: FISH KARMA, E.E. MENDOZA, SCOTT SUTHERLAND, JOHN VENET, ERIN WHITFIELD, JESUS ACEDO,...AND LOTS MORE.
2.there is a documentary on a friend/great local musician BILLY SEDLMAYR...I did an album with him called THE FIFTY PERCENTER...it is amazing. Anyways, I am producing the music for this documentary on Billy, who by the way, is dying of a liver that doen't work anymore and Hepatitus C
Is there something in your album that you don't like enough?
