As a songwriter I acknowledge each song is a synthesis of various influences internalized over the years. It is with great respect I endeavour to keep these sounds alive in new songs for those who identify with as well as those who simply enjoy the timeless nature of these textures. To record my original songs with members from premier bands past and present (Bryan Adams, Colin James, Long John Baldry, and others) is a dream realized. In meeting each diverse song style challenge the session players provided tracks with wonderful options to work out in the mixing of each song. May the combination of these vintage sounds applied in new ways to new songs, take us the LONG WAY HOME. James Avery
