In 2007, I released my 8th album, A Whisper Can Change the World. Seven of the nine songs were mixed by the Grammy award winning mixing engineer, Jim Scott at his studio in L.A. Here is how all this came about:

The album itself was written in a unique way. I wrote the title track after watching a strange clip on the news one night: A river in Ohio had caught fire. I was in disbelief. How could water catch fire?

But then my songwriting hit pause. I had three young children at home and my days became busy being a dad. Then one afternoon months later, while the kids were at school, I wrote a song called Anything.

Every day after that I wrote a song. That happened seven nights in a row. Suddenly, I had an album.

I recorded it at my friend Bobby's studio, which was about the size of twenty matchboxes.

Jim Scott heard the tracks and agreed to mix the album. The problem was he was booked through the rest of the year. Amazingly, his next project with the band Matchbox Twenty was delayed for a few days because they were still tracking. Jim called and said he had only three free days. Take them or I’d have to wait a year. So I flew to L.A., walked into his amazing studio, and had one of the most extraordinary musical experiences of my life.

Because of his brilliant work, and the work of Mark Needham who mixed the last two songs on the album (Mark later mixed my album, “From Here”) — this is one of my best sounding albums. Listen through headphones!
