NEW CDYOU HAVEN'T BEEN WHERE I'VE BEENIS EXTRAORDINARY FOLLOW UP TO EDWARD ROGERS' HIGHLY ACCLAIMED SOLO DEBUT

IN STORES SOON

You Haven't Been Where I've Been is the extraordinary follow-up to Edward Rogers' highly-acclaimed solo debut, Sunday Fables. Two and a half years in the making, the new CD highlights, once again, the songwriting talent of the Edward Rogers / George Usher team.

Highlights include a pair of beautiful ballads, “Commodore Hotel” and “Far Reflection”, the full-fledged rocker,” I Hear This Place Is Haunted,” the hypnotic “Graveyard Voices” and a 17-minute suite called ”What Happened To Manfred, What Happened To Jane”. The album's title track is a searing, defiant rumination on Rogers' comeback from his limb-loss and near-death experience of several years ago.

Two stellar guitarists-Roger McGuinn and Marty Willson-Piper (of the Church)- join an impressive line-up of musicians. McGuinn contributes his signature electric twelve-string sound to “Blind Man's Blue, as well as a Sweetheart Of The Rodeo-style banjo to “It Took Years And Years And Years.” Willson-Piper, turned up to “twelve”, brings a raging, soaring, manic guitar to “Graveyard Voices”.

Additional guests include Pete Kennedy (The Kennedys) on guitar, Dennis Diken (The Smithereens) on drums and Claudia Chopek on violin. Rogers' band includes New York musicians, Mark Sidgwick (bass); Guy Finley (drums), Doug Larcey (lead guitar) and songwriting partner George Usher on multiple guitars, keyboards and backing vocals.

You Haven't Been Where I've Been was mixed by Mitch Easter (REM, Let's Active) at Fidelitorium Studios in North Carolina and mastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound in NYC. Rogers and Usher co-produced this time around, creating a sweeping landscape, which they are now ready to share with you. Limited copies of the advance are available for sale at the upcoming Joe's Pub show (11/29) or by contacting: beatclub69@aol.com.
