Ay, I picked up that new Micah Stampley CD on 11/13/2008.
So far, I'm digging the project.
My favorite tracks (so far) are as follows:
- The Corinthian Song and its reprise
- More of you
- Ransomed and its reprise
- Rain
I'm sure that you're wonderin' who's playing on this thang, huh? Here's the line up:
Kevin Bond - piano and synths
Darrieux Edgecombe - organ and synths
Darrell Freeman - bass and key bass
Joey Wolfalk - acoustic guitar
Jonathan Dubose - electric guitar
and on the traps is none other than...

Jeremy Haynes!
The lyrical content is off the chain, as well as the musicianship. On note, though: I wish that the drums were mixed better. This is no knock on Kevin Bond, but his other projects seems to have the programming smothering the drum mix (cited example: Diary of a Psalmist). If I didn't have bionic ears (lol), I would miss what's being played on the drums, as everyone else is blended better than the drum mix.
Okay, Jeremy - we're going to need an in depth analysis of how you approached these tunes, man!
