As fate [and CDBaby] would have it, I've had to have a new website built; it's a long story, but one I'll post elsewhere. Since I am working with a different company, a new beast, and the site isn't finished, I needed a link to this, my old blog, to be able to keep my peeps abreast of whatsonever I am doing. I have been remiss in posting here, but this will most likely become my new 'abnormal' rant site.
Doug Duffey and BADD had an incredible reception to our sophomore CD, "Play the Blues"; which was released on Out of the Past [label] in October 2019, immediately garnered very good international reviews and went into the Roots charts 'with a bullet'. It charted and stayed high in both Contemporary Blues and the Louisiana charts [where it went to No.1 and stayed there for months]. It is being considered for a Grammy nomination... fingers crossed. svp.
All that was going on during a pandemic, hurricanes, lockdowns, socio-political upheavals, and various and sundry unforeseen horrors; so BADD was unable to tour in 2020 to promote the cd. But before and during the lockdown, Dan Sumner and I continued writing, recording, producing BADD's next [upcoming] CD, which the 4 of us are very proud of. It is completed, but with things as they are, it, like Louisiana Soul Revival's 2nd CD [recordings are finished] are 'on hold'. We continue writing and recording through it all. We're praying 2021 will be a much better year for everyone.
Voila! This is just a short update, to let you know the website is under construction, [actually there are 2, but that;s for another rant] .... but do visit again, for more 'stuff'.
