I don't know who I've told and who I haven't so I figured I should just do a blog about it and then everyone knows.... COOL? Are we all going to be OK with that? Cripes Shirl, y'know I just try me hardest sometimes I do... So Bleu (he who is King) was over mixing my 'rekerd' and he mentioned that there might be a little room on my album for some extra vocals and that when he first listened to the tracks he thought it was a little reminiscent of Chicago with the horns and what not... So, he asked his good mate Jason Scheff if he'd sing on 'Salvation Jane'... Now, Jason Scheff for the last 24 years... has been the lead singer/ bass player of Chicago... CHICAGO people!!! When Peter Cetera left the band in 1985 Jason filled his rather large shoes... and how's this imagery for the analogy... Jason's toes have now poked holes in the ends of those shoes.. If you haven't gotten into Chicago... basically I say to you... WHAT?!? My last car (I refer to 'My Ex-Peugeot') was called 'Chicago'. It was 'Chic' it was a 'car' and it could definitely 'go'. Not only that, for about the first 9 or 10 months of owning the car, the 6 stacker CD player in the boot ONLY had Chicago discs in it. That's how much I'm into Chicago. So I digress... Bleu has done a rough 'Scheff' mix of 'Salvation' and sent it up in to the WWW for some love from Jason... WITHIN 24 hours that thing was back into Bleu's laptop with some absolutely sublime yet distinctive Scheff harmonies. Blown away is an understatement... understatement of the century.... uh? See what I did there? Not only has Jason Scheff heard my material, but he's SINGING ON IT!!! A couple of days later, Bleu did the same trick again, this time we had the track back within 12 hours of Jason getting it... unbelievable... I'm literally shaking my head while I'm writing this... So 'Second Best' and 'Salvation Jane' both have Jason Scheff singing on them. Which I think is just 'killer' as Bleu said all the time. Can't wait for you all to hear it. I just hope everyone gets a chance to... 'Big' being a REAL album and all. Not some 'one album wonder' fluff that comes and goes by the CD shelves... I want everyone to know... ... I'm no One Album Wonder. Love Court. P.s. Buy my album when it comes out?
