How long has the album actually been out? Is it just coming out? No, it was released a while ago, wasn't it?
Now, what happened was, with what's going on, we actually took it off Spotify at one point
The agreement we had with the original people who released it, there was concerns about things like what's going on legally and what's not legally, as far as Spotify and as far as getting playlists and all that stuff.
It sure cooks along, and it covers a lot of different styles, and it covers a lot of different themes, you know, just in terms of the lyrics.
So, I mean, you go from Save the World, you know, to the opening stanza, Long Black Cadillac, which is pretty racy, right? and uh it's got a pretty pretty pretty spicy song and it's you know so you get the feel of guys who are sort of strutting again uh after a while but yeah it's a it's a pretty cool collection of songs and you're tight you're you're pretty tight uh so you know my impression i always start with the music before i start reading all the promo material so my problem is sometimes i'm a yeah so so how long did it take you to actually put all these tunes together uh
uh because we weren't happy with some mixes um we got involved one song is called forever mine we got involved in that with a charity organization basically when arrow came in we did one song that he had Written, was a co-writer on called Right Thing.
The other nine, the other nine songs I had pretty much written with the band, but had mostly put together myself and written the lyrics on.
