Kurt Michaels releases his 4th album and long awaited follow up to Soaring Back To Earth....a harder hitting collection of newly penned originals.
The writing began on a trip to Tucson on February of 2016. The initial recording work began on August of 2018 at BobDog Studios in Oak Park IL and moved to Kingsize Sound Labs in Chicago. Mastering at Kingsize began in 2021 and was completed in February 2023. The engineer was Mike Hagler. The logistics of our creative process (including the impact of Covid) slowed things down, but the results should speak for themselves. Stylistically, it’s quite diverse and features a lot of dynamic shifts throughout!
Guest appearances include
Billy Sherwood (Yes)
Michael Sherwood (Sammy Davis Jr, Toto and The Monkees)
Amanda Lehmann (Steve Hackett)
John Abbey (John Cale)
Dennis Johnson (Survivor, Dennis DeYoung & Chase)
