A Narrows' adopted child, JJ Baron, is having his CD release party on June 3. We've heard three tracks off the CD, and they're great!
The record features Slaid Cleaves, Jim Weider (formerly of The Band) and another Narrows' adopted child, Ryan Fitzsimmons. Also Buddy Cage of the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Stu Kimball (who's played guitar for Dylan and Peter Wolf) and Scott Murawski of Max Creek.
The song sampler CD that JJ has been sending around is impressive. It contains three songs: "Open Door," "Now I Know,"and "Chose to Lose You," all written by JJ.
First of all, the songs show that JJ is more than a pretty face and voice. He's a fine lyricist and has an ear for melody.
We're just two bad habits that can't resist
A taste of a kiss, the move of the mouth
I never meant to get ourselves into this
You're at the top of my list
After I throw you out

Those are the opening lines of "Open Door." Not bad for a youngster. Not bad for an oldster, either.
Other players on the disc are Tom Newman, Chris Brooks, Greg Deguglielmo and Steve Burke. It was produced by Tom Newman and recorded at Celebration Sound in Warren, RI by Dave Corriea. Production, arrangements and engineering sound first-rate.
Congrats to JJ and all involved in this project! (By the way, the CD's front cover is a photo of JJ in the Narrows' freight elevator!).
