This album also gave me my first small taste of the music business. Before the album was released, I sent copies to some of the major Christian labels in hopes of a record deal. One major label took interest, and started talking about flying me out to L.A. for a meeting. While waiting further word, they called and told me they were opening a new office in Nashville, and that my music and info would be forwarded to them. When the N'ville A&R guy heard the album, he immediately dismissed it as "very good, but un-commercial," and it was pretty much over! I got similar responses from two other major Christian labels as well. Of course, listening to the album now, I certainly don't blame them for passing, and I would do many things differently (especially having to do with the song order), but it continued a long road of "do I try to write songs that have commercial appeal or just write the way I want?" I chose the latter...
WOW! We've decided to offer the music on this album for free in downloadable MP3 format. Feel free to burn a CD, and you can even download the album cover to print if you'd like! If you can program your burner to place 0 seconds between tracks, you'll have a more original copy. The album credits and complete downloadable liner notes are down below.
