Hot off the press!

I am very excited to re-release my first cd, So This Is Love. This was first released 6 years ago and last year I went back to Nashville and re-recorded all but two of the orginal songs. We were very fortunate to have 2 of Nashville's top vocalists added on for background vocals. Richard Law, sang background vocals for Roy Orbison all through the 80's along with genius, lead guitarist, Bucky Barrett who also played and produced this cd. Donna Ulisse also accompanied Richard on background vocals and she is a leading Nashville singer as well. We completely remixed this cd and I really think it has a completely different feel that what we did 6 years ago.

I really think this is pretty historic in that we were able to capture members of Elvis Presley's original band: Scotty Moore, Elvis' lead guitar player, DJ Fontana, Elvis' drummer, the Jordanaires, Elvis' original background vocal group, along with members of Roy Orbison's band: Bucky Barrett, lead guitarist, Jim (Turbo) Kirby, keyboard player for Roy and Richard Law, Roy's background vocalist. This is the first and only project that both groups collaborated on. Many of the songs, which are personal favorites of mine, these guys played on the originals with Elvis and here I am so fortunate to have them on this cd.

The title song of the cd So This Is Love is a song written by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees. It was the goal to have Roy record and release this beautiful song but his untimely passing prevented that from happening. Bill released it on a cd and was kind enough to allow me to release it as well. The other songs on the cd are songs that I have spent years listening to and loving and I am so pleased to share them with you.
