10 Minutes to Montrose
Is the posthumously released creation of Dan Aranda. Sadly Dan departed this world without finalizing the album he’d been long working on and so I assembled and mastered his varied collection of tracks. Many of his tracks were ready for mastering, others pulled from dusty archives in various forms of completion and in need of additional tracking and sweetening. As credit to Dan’s natural vocal talents there are even a couple on here that were simple 1 take scratch tracks he laid down for structural definition only. Humorously I had to remove his on-mic descriptions and directions in between verses…and yet the performance remained so sterling you’d never know it was off the cuff. It was inspiring to lay down additional guitars and drum tracks for a friend so gifted and amidst players so immensely talented, and it was a great honor to finalize Dan’s creative endeavor. I am very proud of the work accomplished right down to the questionably legal drone shot captured for the album art. Hope you dig it Danny!
