Voila! a "doug duffey international soul band" BLUES cd is in the works. we've been performing together for several years and it is time to do a cd! time to "kick it up a notch!"
i'm currently going through my archives of original blues music and writing some new songs for the cd. i might even throw in one or two public domain/traditional songs.
we'll begin recording in Switzerland in May with Michael Rasbury at the helm. Michael recorded, mixed and mastered "Changin Times"*. I'm going to use the same M.O. as I did for CT*- setting up in a big room, recording LIVE [as opposed to going into a studio] which will give us more freedom; we can come and go as we like, record when we like, etc.
i just saw a great VH1 'classic album' show on "The Band", who recorded the same way in the 60s/70s... which [along with past experience] only reinforced my vision that this is the way to go. we also plan to video/document a lot of the sessions.
i've also been watching some incredible videos of Howlin Wolf on youtube, recorded live in what looks like a bar- which has the feel i want: relaxed, laid back...REAL.
as of yet there is no working title... but... i will add more info as i know it.

death and taxes
they say there are only 2 sure things in life: death and taxes. i am dealing with the latter and not liking it, as usual.

old dates deleted
today i deleted all older gigs from the venues page- so 2008 dates will be added to the website as they come in. i changed out most photos on the website, replacing them with ones i made w/my keychain digital camera, here in switzerland; but plan to renovate the site when i get home.
we've [the band] recorded several gigs this tour, and have a few more gigs to do/record- then everything will be checked, edited, and possibly a new LIVE "international soul band" cd or ep will be forthcoming from the tour.

new cds ready!
the new solo cds are ready and available from cdbaby- and already selling! click here to see my cdbaby page.
i'm happy these cds are finally released. i should have released them years ago. i've been inspired by all the positive response i've been getting from my solo videos on youtube- which get the most hits of all my videos. it's been an eye opening experience! i am preparing to make more solo cds and videos in the near future- possibly even a solo dvd.
thanks to everyone who encouraged me to release the solo sessions!
