NEW CD—YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN WHERE I'VE BEEN—IS
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.
