(Co-Producer, Engineer, Musical Director, Mixer)
A solo debut from a long-time member of The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Sam Butler puts his own spin on an Americana compilation of bluesy spirituals written by some of the most important and compelling artists and songwriters of the last fifty years of rock and roll (Bruce Springsteen, U2, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, etc.) Featuring Sacred Steel virtuoso Roosevelt Collier, drummer Marco Giovino (Robert Plant, Tom Jones) and bassist Viktor Kraus (Lyle Lovett, Bill Frisell). Recorded by Edsel Holden in Nashville and myself in San Francisco, I mixed it in New York. I also served as the co-producer and musical director/arranger.
