For The Record - A Tribute To John Wicks
LAST COPY - NOW OUT OF PRINT!!!!! Known for his work with/as The Records, John Wicks was about to record the vocal tracks for this latest batch of songs before his untimely passing in late 2018. In his stead, friends and pop luminaries have gotten together to see that his final compositions were completed. It's a very personal goodbye and a testament to how much John was loved and appreciated by his peers. The project was masterfully coordinated by Rich Rossi, one of John’s closest friends. Rich explains the background of the tribute “John’s bass player and close friend Gary Schwartz called me shortly after John’s passing and asked what we were going to do with the recordings John was working on. He suggested asking some of John’s friends to come in and sing for him. And so we did. Their response was incredible. Each artist involved has a personal connection to John. They gave generously of their time and talents, making this album our very own ‘Thank You’ to the man affectionately known as ‘Johnny Wicked’.” The project was masterfully produced by Jamie Hoover, and features contributions from John Wicks, Ray Paul, Peter Case, Jamie Hoover, Al Stewart, Chris Thompson (Manfred Mann’s Earth Band), Paul Collins, Don Dixon, Carla Olson, Bill Berry, Kyle Frost, and Nick Guzman! In addition, you’ll hear brilliant instrumental and vocal contributions from Dave Nachmanoff, Elliot Easton (The Cars), Andy Qunta (Icehouse, Factory), Chris Price, Syd Straw, and many others. “John’s memory and his music touched me deeply, but his friendship touched my soul.” – Alan Haber The liner notes include heartfelt tributes by Records drummer Will Birch, Alan Haber, Richard Rossi, and Jamie Hoover. PROCEEDS FROM SALES WILL GO TO JOHN'S SON PERRY, AND TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY.
