I Believe To My Soul
Available 4th October 2005
I’d like to tell you everything, of course. I’d like for you to know every unlikely event that led me to the famed Capitol Studios in Hollywood for seven days of recording this past June, with some of the greatest living artists of soul music.
Not
that the music that resulted needs subtitles; I believe it
will ultimately –and must- provide its own context.
Still, there is history to be considered. If a beautiful woman
were to stroll past your front stoop on a summer evening, startling
even the young toughs out for a smoke, you wouldn’t need
me to make sense of it for you. But if the young lady also
happened to be the great-granddaughter of both Fats Waller
and Amelia Erhardt, you might like me to point that out to
you; then that long, hard second look might offer nuances that
you had initially failed to consider, like that swing in her
step, or the far away look in her eyes. Somebody stop me.
