Lucinda William’s “Little Honey” entered the Billboard charts at # 9 yesterday. This is the highest chart position ever in Lucinda’s 30 year career. It is also the highest chart position of anything I have ever worked on.
We are all so proud of this record. Cheers Lu!
Yep, the October 30th issue, with Barak Obama on the cover, page 56. It’s tiny, and I look like I’ve just swallowed an earwig, but I’ll take it! Cheers to Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show!
Note to all: Next time you see someone struggling with a bottle top, or having trouble getting their feet to do what they want them to do, remember, it could be you–in a flash.
I spent the last week in bed, and still I can’t properly sign my name. Be nice to each other!
Yes, I can finally exhale…We’ll be adding a press page with links shortly, but here are a few to get you started…

A few weeks back, we had listening party to introduce the film and TV music community to the Lucinda Williams’ new one, now known as “Little Honey”.
We booked studio A at the Village, and set up catering, couches and chairs in the live room. I prepared a 96k version of the mastered CD to play back. Everybody came, we were 5 minutes from starting and….BOOM! Transformers outside started blowing and we lost power.
We were outside discussing getting generators, etc., then I had an idea. I realized I had an inverter in my car–I use it mainly to blow up air mattresses when we go camping–so we ran an extension into the studio and powered a CD player, Genelecs and a Mackie Big Knob. It worked, and we had our showcase after all, by candle light. We ended up with Robbie Robertson, Ed Cherney and T Bone Burnett’s whole session in there with us. We were the only music on the block.
Of course, immediately after the guests left, the lights came back on.
I’ll be chuckling about this for a few days!
