When I was 15 years old I spent my summer
vacation visiting my older brother in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I had been holed up in
my room in upstate New York, learning to play guitar and writing songs of teenage angst
and wanderlust. A few weeks with my songwriting brother and a town full of bohemian
musicians, artists, silversmiths and cowboys was all it took to convince me I had found my
spiritual home. Somehow I sold my parents on the idea that finishing high school in
Santa Fe was an educational experience I could not afford to miss. By 19 I was
playing in a band full time, where I continued my education in the dance halls and honky
tonks of New Mexico and Colorado. Addicted to change and growth, I knew
eventually that it was time to move on and find even more fertile ground for my songs and
voice. Like magic, Austin Texas appeared in my life and by the early 80's I was singing my
heart out six nights a week in the Texas Hill Country. My
education has continued in Texas, inspired by and learning from the rich and soulful
music community in Austin. Trips to Nashville have taught me more about songwriting,
as well as delivering a few disappointing blows via the music "business."
Character building ain't easy, but hey, you can't make good music without
it! In 1990 I knew I was ready to "graduate" and become a
recording "artiste," so I made the first of several albums released regionally
on my own label. I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to make records,
develop my own sound and learn my way around a studio. Austin is about live music,
but I also love making music that translates onto a disc, to reach more people in other
places and to have a tangible record of my work. This is how my band sounds when
we're playing live, with some of my favorite Austin players sitting in.
What you're holding in your hand is my first national release and it seems only right that
it be on a Texas label. dos Records is in the heart of Austin, so they understand
where this music comes from. After all, they're out every night of the week
listening to music being played underneath the lone star sky. Christine Albert |
