Barry Ebert . . . What We're Thinking About

This CD, recorded in 2007, features ten new, original songs plus Dan Fogelberg’s The Higher You Climb and Holy Now by Minnesota songwriter Peter Mayer. There is a great cast of supporting musicians that includes Jennifer Burnett on backing vocals, string wizard Ernie Martinez on pedal steel, dobro, acoustic and electric guitars, Darrin Johnson on drums and Susan Mikulich and Blake Eberhard on bass. Many other guests drop by to add their talents including a beautiful children’s chorus on Where We Live and Growing with Spirit. Gabriel Ebert throws in a duet vocal on God is in the World, which he co-wrote.

The project features a wide range of emotional expression from the all-out-rocker title cut to the introspective Stand in the Fire and All Inside. Turn Off Your Cell Phone has become a classic opening for many services and gatherings and it seemed only right to have it leading off the new CD. There is a hope alive that the song will be played before every movie shown worldwide, with subsequent royalties returning to the writer.

Park Peters from Audio Park again handles the bulk of the recording and engineering as well as several sneaky keyboard parts. What We’re Thinking Aboutand We Hold These Truths were recorded at Mile Hi Music under the watchful ear of Nathan Marschall.

This CD will not cause drowsiness and is suitable for driving under all conditions or operating heavy machinery. Enjoy.
