You asked for it... you got it. :)


Ok... so, more than a few of you have written over the past few days asking if we're releasing a physical version of my new EP. And, honestly, we hadn't planned on it. But, so many of you have asked that you got me thinking, and we're gonna try something here. For a limited time, you can get an individually burned CD-ROM of the songs, video, and pdf artwork from my new Real World Sessions, Volume I release. Each copy will be burned from my source masters (resulting in better sound quality than a standard cd and MUCH better than mp3's) and hand-labeled, individually numbered, and autographed by yours truly. :) In addition, if you want to buy the CD-ROM for a friend, you can dictate a short message I'll be happy to write on the CD-ROM (the option pops up during the order process). Because these are one-off's, there's no physical artwork. The CD-ROM is in a blank jewel case with handwritten title/message/autograph, and the pdf digital artwork is included on the cd-rom itself along with the songs and the 'Brave' music video.

Just so you know, the point to doing this is that I'm realizing a lot of you don't use (or like to use) iTunes. I can understand that, and I definitely don't want to limit your ability to get the new release. Also, the reason we didn't plan on printing physical cd's is that, as downloads become more and more popular, it becomes harder and harder to predict the number of cd's to replicate. And, the last thing we want is a storage room full of 'outdated' cd's - the modern day equivalent of 8-track cassettes (if you're young enough that you don't know what an 8-track is, go ask your parents :)).

Anyway, there ya go. I hope I say it often enough, but I'm continually blown away at how supportive you are. Your outpouring of praise and support over the past few days has been overwhelming, and I gotta say... having not put out any new music for quite awhile... it's VERY reassuring to know you're still out there listening. Thank you so much for that.
