The whole cd features the work of The Band, Rick, Dave & Dré plus "Special Guests" The Harris Brothers Horns, but there is also a whole array of other guest stars... Tory Ruffin of the Time, Fred Clark of EnVogue, Randy Jacobs of The Boneshakers (Was not Was & Bonnie Raitt), Jazz Saxophonist Warren Hill, Guitarist Jeff Golub (Rod Stewart), Danielle LoPresti of Danielle Lopresti & The Masses, Keyboardist Brian Simpson (Janet Jackson) to name a few... We feel as though the 60's was a special time in music. Music not only was free and creative, but to have your own individual sound was a requirement. If you sounded remotely like anyone else, you would not be successful because to be a copycat was not acceptable. There was one Led Zepplin, one Sly & the Family Stone, one Black Sabbath, one Temptations, one James Brown, one Funkadelic, one Deep Purple, one Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. The list is endless. Now with the internet leveling the playing field of the ability to get new music distributed, the people have a choice once again of what they listen to. This is a magical time! No longer are we subjected to the musical "cookie cut" artist quotas the big labels feed us. You know what I mean. N'sync gets success so every label gets their boy band to make money. Not knocking the boys but, they weren't the only music on the block..Now, we can try the flavors we choose. We are exposed to more and only limited by how much we want to experiment and how long we want to seek and find! The 60's were special in another way. The songs not only were great to listen to and feel but at times they had potent things to talk about. War, Poverty, Injustice, Racism, Our Government, Our differences, Our troubles, and it wasn't a depressing thing and it need not be now. It was inspiring. It made things better. It made us aware. Where is the "What's goin on?" the "War, what is it good for" the "Mercy mercy me", the "4 dead in Ohio" the "Southern Man" the "R-E-S-P-E-C-T". See we believe that you can talk about these things and it not be depressing. We believe you can talk about these things and not be afraid. Afraid of what a government or big record label or radio station might or might not do to or for you. See..with t
