As you may recall from my previous Now Page post—you can find all my Now Page posts on my Now Page Archives—I had just released a new single, "Inner Dawn," back in the Summer of this year. Now, I'm proud to announce the release of my debut album, Revival in the Air, available as a limited-edition first run.
After years of people constantly asking me if I had a CD of my own, I first began recording and mixing it. This has been a long process of learning how to do both on my own. Then, instead of waiting for all the songs to be finished, I thought, "Why not just release it now?" This way, people could hear my CD whenever they wanted to, and I could still get busy finalizing the mixes for the remaining songs. (This is the reason behind the "grayed out" tracks on the back cover.)
So, as it stands right now, this limited edition CD is only available for purchase in-person. You can either buy the CD directly from me (I've already sold several at our local farmer's market), or if you see me playing with The Gilbert Family on the road for the low price of $10 USD. (For a look at our touring schedule, click here.)
The plan is to widely release the "full version" of the CD whenever I finish mixing the remaining songs. Then, the price will increase to the normal $15 USD. But not to worry, because I've made it so that everyone can enjoy the full album—even if the remaining songs are still in the works.
When you purchase the CD from me or The Gilbert Family, I've placed a special link inside the CD jacket that will take you directly to a special page on my website that will allow you to download the remaining songs once I've finished them.
I hope to start the mixing process on the next single for the album, "The One Who Died For Me," (Track 5, as seen in the image above from the album's back cover) as soon as next week. Now that my biggest recent project (Point 1 above) is finally finished, I can redirect my focus once again to finishing this—and creating more—new music. I've even included a form on the page where you can sign up to be notified when the songs are ready to listen to. (If you'd like to sign up yourself, click the button below and you'll see the signup form for the same mailing list).
And speaking of creating more new music, the main reason I hope to complete this project so soon is because I've already gotten ideas for which songs to include on the next album! Lots of music still to be made, so I don't have time to dawdle around any longer!
