“Familiar Souls” CD wrapping up!

 

Another album is wrapped up! “Familiar Souls” is out on Bandcamp NOW. Soon it’ll be on CD and iTunes too. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of producing a 12-song album for Jimmy Campos. A retired school principal, he is an excellent song-writer and a true pleasure to work with. He’s using the band name “Dr. C and the White Magic Band” for the album. After delivering the final mixes, here’s what he had to say:

My verdict is that it sounds great.  You’ve taken a so-so singer and made him sound pretty good.  Your production is unfailingly excellent.  I don’t think I can be much happier.  All the songs meet my vision for them.  You’ve done a great, great job.

Can’t thank you enough,
Jimmy

I mostly agree. He’s actually a great singer. I’ve played a few early mixes for some of my musical friends and everyone loves his emotive, retro vocal ability. It’s very soothing and easy to listen to. Some of these songs have been chained up in a binder for 35 years and they’re finally seeing the light of day. The world will be a better place.

 

This album was a fun challenge for me. Other than the vocals and a few of Jimmy’s acoustic guitar tracks, I played everything…mixed everything…and even did the artwork layout (which was highly helped by Jimmy’s talented artist friend, John Tissot). Lastly, I will also be mastering the album here at Good Times Recording Studio. A new venture!
