Stacey Blood – Millennium Blues sessions

Posted by David Norris on Jul 30, 2010

Hey friends,
It’s been a while since my latest blog. As you may have read on facebook or just heard through the grapevine, I’ve been pretty busy working on several projects. But with all that hard work there IS return, and finally kicking off Stacey Blood’s project again is proof of that. We absolutely laid down the law yesterday recording the final six songs for his upcoming album Milleniun Blues. With a stellar cast of some of Nashville’s finest session musicians and myself in the producer’s chair, magic was created that will surely turn the heads of this industry and stand the test of time.

“Six songs in one day? yeah baby, ROCK & ROLL. !” says Stacey. “No matter how many times you do this, you’re thinking is that really gonna happen? But at the first count off, you know it will.  It’s amazing that what takes me months to conceive, these guys can bring to life in a matter of hours. This project isn’t an easy one, but the whole team came through with flying colors as usual. All it did was make me want to get this album out even faster.”

Yeah, you could say that that pretty much says it all. But don’t get me wrong, efficiency doesn’t just come in a few hours. It takes great  communication skills, direction,  and one hell of a road map. Working dilligently on these songs for nearly a year on pre-production, Stacey and I knew these songs inside out going in and casting the right team was imperative for it’s outcome. Stacey Blood’s music is a little more challenging than the normal formula and is definatley a little left of center, which to me is very promising in an industry of chlones. He follows the true sense of his muse and doesn’t stray from his own personal convictions to try and just “fit in”. As a listener, I’ve always been a fan of his music and as his producer & cowriting partner I feel blessed just to be a part of something so unique and rockin. Coming from the same old school rock & roll influences, it seems like it was just meant to be that our musical souls collided in an age that is yearning for true individual art. Roots rock is definately alive and well and living in the suburbs of our hearts ! ! !

MILLENNIUM BLUES to be released in early fall

ROCK AND ROLL,
