Impressions Christmas Album

I am really excited to announce that a project I was involved in is coming out. The Album “I’m Coming Home For Christmas” by the Impressions is now available in stores.

While I was an engineer at Studio East in Charlotte, NC, I had the great privilege to work on this album. I wrote the title track, “Coming Home” and did some playing on the record, as well as engineering some of the session.

The Impressions are members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

“….The Impressions provided a critical link between Fifties rhythm & blues and Sixties soul. They pioneered and epitomized the sound of Chicago soul, a marriage of gospel and pop influences with a timely conscience. From the beginning, leader Curtis Mayfield was an innovative songwriter and producer whose work with the Impressions was typified by sophisticated yet celebratory grooves, elaborately detailed vocal arrangements, and lyrics that addressed and advanced the black freedom movement of the Sixties. On the strength of such indelible songs of striving and transcendence as “People Get Ready,” “Keep On Pushing,” and “We’re a Winner,” Mayfield has been credited with authoring “the soundtrack to the civil-rights movement.”   – Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

This album is out now (on sites like Amazon and iTunes)  and it will be a great addition to people’s Christmas music collection.
