| Waterline Collaborates with National Recording Artist & Grammy Winning Producers on New “Long Goners“ CD Waterline, a Wilmington area music duo, recently paired up with Sugar Hill recording artist Sonny Landreth and his band to complete a 10-song recording project entitled Long Goners. Landreth and his band have collaborated with numerous national recording artists, including John Hiatt, Jimmy Buffett, Mark Knopfler, Kenny Loggins, Dolly Parton and many more. Landreth’s signature guitar style is prominent on all tracks and includes both slide and standard electric guitar work. In addition to Sonny Landreth, Waterline also worked with multi-Grammy winning producers Tony Daigle at Electric Comoland Studios in Lafayette, LA (2003 Grammy award with B.B. King), and Steven Heller at Upstream Productions in Asheville, NC (2003 Grammy award with Doc Watson & David Holt). The resulting sound for Long Goners is considerably higher energy and more roots-rock oriented than the duo’s debut release, Stranded. According to Jim Ellis, keyboardist for the group, “The intense energy created by Sonny and his band was evident from the first note we recorded. Not only are they incredibly talented individuals, they have been playing together for nearly 30 years, so as a group, they’re like a finely tuned freight train.” write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Jazz News :: home page |
