I made a mock-up of the CD packaging (very rough and VERY low-tech) and knew I wouldn't be able to fit all the info I wanted on the inside sleeve. I'll be using this blog to release excerpts from the full liner notes over the next few weeks. Today's view: thanks and artistic influences.
Thanks:
My wife Laurie and daughter Addy for putting up with “too much time with Tom”;
Tom Kutrieb for friendship, not to mention endless hours of tracking, editing
and pocketing—without you this record would not exist; Deb and Emily Kutrieb for
sharing their home (and Tom); Mike Kutrieb for adding your fingerprints to this
record; Zach Brawford for traveling from the Cities to lay down some sweet
beats; CJ Conner for your astouding artwork; Jessie Braun for capturing my good
side; my family for loving and supporting me; Toby Kutrieb for getting me into
music in the first place; Karl and Cindy for forgiveness and renewed
friendship; Aaron LaMere for answers; Jeremy Michael (a.k.a. The Archiver);
Martha Jean (miss you); my fellow Mavens Richard Price and Aaron Kittelson; Good
Guys Wear Wolf; Gabriel Wilson for being a constant (though geographically
distant) presence both musically and spiritually; God, who still loves me,
despite my many shortcomings.
Artists
