A few weeks ago I made my first trip to the studio to start laying down the vocals for the Fresh Cut Collective album. I didn't know what to expect of the music at first, because up to this point everyone from the band had went in previous to me and layed their parts down seperately. So actually for the album their was no one time when we were all in the studio recording our parts.
The feeling I initially felt from listening to the complete instrumental version's of Project Talk, Never Over and Loveless was vintage. The drum and bass tracks that were layed by by Micheal Stewart and Paul Fleming sounded phenomenal. They sounded so warm and crisp like something from the Stax archives. You know that Issac Hayes deep grooving sound. This album is going to have a retro type groove that hasn't been captivated in music many years. I have to thank the musicians of Fresh Cut Collective for putting together the pieces so well so that I would be able to accurately execute my vocals.
I layed the vocals to each of those songs really quick as I have been performing those songs live for some time now. I made sure I layered the vocals 6 or 7 times each so that we could get the best of each take. Putting in that work so that I know we get the premium cuts.
i think this can be one of the biggest projects to drop from a Milwaukee group in a long time. Well at least I hope so, and.....it is my project so why wouldn't i feel that way. First the Wamy's then the Grammy's. Lol! Well I guess the first step to getting their is finishing this album. I hope you folks are excoted as i am. And if you have no idea who or what the hell I am talking about check out the Fresh Cut Collective EPK (CLICK HERE) .
