This is the second CD Derek did with The Michael Feldman Group. Derek has no
role as a writer or producer in the band. As such, this website is not
adequately structured to detail this project, but Derek will share some words
about it below...
"This is probably my overall favorite of the Feldman
records. It manages to catch the band as it was at the time. Mike has a fondness
for using studio musicians and over-dubbing. Y'know...stuff you will NEVER
hear live if you go to see the band. He didn't really do that on this record,
though. He had a keyboardist/female vocalist in the band (Ann Varwig) and I
guess that made him not feel the need to add anyone else (with the exception of
some cello parts played by Ann's husband Dave, who occasionally played the
bigger gigs with us, so I don't really count that).
The songs on this one
are pretty strong. I think it could have been mixed a little bit better and I
wish the guy had left my bass-tone alone (get used to me saying that), but the
SONGS are good. I still whistle one or two of them now and again. If you're only
going to pick up one of the Feldman CDs, I'd get this one. It's probably the
truest to what the band sounded like at any given point. The rest of the CDs,
though good, just don't sound like 'us.' This one does."
