Neuigkeiten zu Gary Louris‘ erstem Solo-Album (VÖ: Herbst 07) und zum Olsen/Louris – Album (VÖ: Anfang 08):
I just finished my solo record…..It was recorded pretty much
live…..drums, bass, keyboards, pedal steel, my lead vocals and
acoustic guitar all live in 8 days.. six days of miscellaneous backup
vocals and candy….mixed in nine days…recorded at Sage and Sound in
LA (the same studio we recorded the Olson/Louris record) with Chris
Robinson as producer, engineer and co-producer Thom Monahan
(Espers / Vetiver / Bright Black Morning Light / Devendra Banhardt)…
the band:
Drums/Perc: Otto Hauser (Vetiver/Espers/ and many more)
Bass/ Gtr: Jonathan Wilson (of Jonathan Wilson, host of the
legendary Laurel Canyon jams…thanks Lady D.!)
Pedal Steel Guitar: Josh Grange (Dwight Yoakam / Creekdippers!!)
Keyboards: Adam MacDougal (Macey Gray / etc.)

It was a dream of a session, which was following on the heels of the
dream session we had on the Louris/Olson record. Mark was out of the
country for most of my session and we were so ahead of schedule that we
were done before we could get Mark in there for a guest appearance….
There is definitely something happening out in LA…a groundswell of
musicians mingling and making music, centered around the soon to be
legendary Wednesday night jams in Laurel Canyon….I feel like I made
friends for life with this scene and will be using most of this band or
others involved in this scene on my tours….it is feeling like 1970
all over again out there…you can almost touch „it“ and it is really
an honor to be a part of it..
Release dates? I know everyone is wondering…here is the scoop. Both
and let me stress BOTH sides of the Olson/Louris camp feel it is
important for Mark’s solo record and my solo record precedes the OL
record so as to keep the waters clear….I know I know…label
politics, but it is their money and after some hemming and hawing
everyone sees the logic I suppose….as Mark said: „The important
thing is that we made this record and didn’t wait“ and I agree…I
hope that my record will come out this fall and the OL record will
follow early next year….please be patient with us….I assure you
that it will all be worth the wait…hang in there fanpagers!! We have
not forgotten you.
