Release Notes:
--------
Otis Gibbs' lastest album is a glimpse inside of an America that you don't see
on the evening news, but it is the America most citizens see at their doorsteps.
The album showcases Otis' ability to breathe life into the characters of his
songs. One such example is "Caroline." The song tells the story of a woman who
married too young. She finds herself stuck in an abusive relationship and
secretly fears that her children will suffer the same fate. The populist anthem
"Everyday People" shines a light on the struggles our grandparents endured in
the workplace. As the line in the song suggests, their generation's willingness
to take a stand, "made things better for you and me." "Preacher Steve" is
certain to ruffle some feathers, but a closer listen will reveal that the only
people who should be offended by the song are those cynical clergymen who prey
on fear for profit. This album is a reminder that Otis, above all else, is a
damn fine songwriter. It was produced and mixed by Chris Stamey, engineered by
legendary Motown engineer, Bob Olhsson, and was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee
with an impressive list of players including, Al Perkins, Don Dixon, Tim Easton
and Will Rigby.
