I'm pleased with the way this CD is going. Michael and I have this Kenny Burrell/Jimmy Smith thing going and it moves! For one cut, I used an Epiphone Howie Roberts, nice thick body, 25 1/2 inch scale, much like a strat but what a sound! I'm taking more control with this one and should have the final cuts ready soon. |

This is a very loose album. I was just getting ready to move to Vancouver and I wanted to document the groove we had at one my regular gigs at the Orbit Room. Most of it is straight off the floor and it was done in a few days. Nice live feel. |

This was conceived a songwriter's album, no covers. It took quite a while to record as I was working a very tight budget. Great players on board and a good learning experience. |

DANGEROUS ACQUAINTANCES

Besides the core band, lots of heavy hitters came to these sessions. As a result, I think the album is way over produced and lacks focus. It's been released and pulled back lots of times over the years. Island never really knew what to do with it. |

The difficulty of these sessions was crafting a sound to suit Marianne's unique style. The demo with Broken English and Why'd You Do It got us a deal with Island and we were away to the races. By the way, the rolling bass line on Broken English came from a track Winwood decided not to use on his first album. |
