LOST ALONG THE WAY - A co-write with Alana Amram, who, by the power of her sheer creativity, dragged this semi-biographical story out of me. It’s loosely based on breaking down in my Datsun 240z on Pacific Coast Highway very late at night near El Capitan State Beach. Initial tracking was done in New York City by Dave Lindsay at Country Club Studios. Later, extensive overdubs and mixing was done at my Mountain Sounds Recorders. Alana played the great reverbed Wurlizer piano parts in NYC. I worked with Will Scott to get the dead 70’s pop ballad style drums with big fills. Our reference points were Nigel Olsson drumming with Elton John, and the Ken Scott engineered Supertramp albums.
