Witzend Recording Studio: In the studio

In the studio - Empire Blues

Yes, we are still chipping away at the new Empire Blues album, over the last few weeks we have been finishing all the vocals. Mixing will start soon so the album will be released a bit later in the year. Recording your own band in your own studio is a bit like the mechanic's car or the decorator's house, you never seems to have time to work on your own jobs.
