{"product_id":"leroy-bell-traces","title":"Leroy Bell- Traces (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eActually when it was first suggested I do an acoustic solo CD, I wasn't all that thrilled. On the other hand it did surprise me how fast I warmed to the idea of a stripped down solo project. I recorded the entire CD at home, which was quite exhilarating and frustrating at the same time. I had recently purchased a small Pro Tools rig, which I barely knew how to use. In the process I quite nearly ruined a long time friendship, calling at all hours of the day and night with questions I should have known, If only I'd taken the time - a lot of time - to read through the pro Tools manual! I don't consider myself stupid but reading technical jargon just doesn't translate to anything usable in my brain. Originally I was going to record songs that hadn't found a place on my other CDs, but that quickly changed and I started from scratch with all new songs. I tend to write about things I'm feeling right now.. I did cover (Spending Time) from my first CD, and I rerecorded a demo I made of (Traces of your soul) a song I had written shortly after the death of my guitar player, and dear friend Rick Novito. Then my mother passed away this past January ....... Losing my mother tapped a new emotional depth of sorrow and sadness I hadn't felt before. The emotions on this CD are over the place, and I struggled daily with questions of what songs to include and what to hold back. In the end I think this collection of songs took on a life of their own and I just tried to steer them in some kind of unified direction. I like to think that the title - Traces - means that no matter who you are or what you do once we're born, we can't help leave something behind.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan You Live On Love\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWind Me Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJust Not Good Enough\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo Say Goodbye\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMama Said\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything About You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThank You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraces of Your Soul (Rick's Song)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWanna See You Smile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpending Time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46984469577949,"sku":"766433215748","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/1670761.jpg?v=1762927422","url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/products\/leroy-bell-traces","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
