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 mentioned the release of my debut album, Revival in the Air (RITA for short), available as a limited-edition first run (currently only available for purchase at in-person singing events). This is because I still needed to mix and release a couple of tracks before calling the CD "official." Well now, I'm one step closer to the final product.
My latest single, "The One Who Died for Me," is the 5th track from RITA. I've designed it so that when you purchase the CD from me, 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, including "The One Who Died for Me."
But don't worry, if you're not likely to see me or the Gilbert Family in person (to check out our touring schedule,

With only one more song to mix, I'm nearly finished with this album—which is good because I've nearly compiled another entire album's worth of songs that, IMHO, will be even better than RITA. And that's the point, really; to continue making each new work better than the last.
Since "The One Who Died for Me" took quite a while to mix in between multiple side projects including an entire pregnancy, a new baby, engineering a new CD for the Gilbert Family, and more, I'm not sure when I'll begin mixing the final track on the album, another original entitled "Lord, Fill My Cup." All I know for certain is that I don't want to have to manage multiple interruptions while doing so. The mixing process is highly intensive and requires focused concentration, so I want to be able to get through the final song in under a week if possible.
In the meantime, I've been focused on creating more electric guitar content, so don't be surprised if you see a song or two of this nature released before the final track on the RITA album.
