After much time, the new CD “Addicted To The Blues” is complete! I really like it, but of course I’m biased. It’s my CD. It is available on iTunes, as well as CD baby. It was a lot of fun to do, and now comes the marketing half of the deal. Getting it out there to the world. Or rather getting the word out to the world. Hiring the right cats to move this forward. The CD is 12 songs, with some very cool folks on it. Eddie Baytos from the Nervous Brothers plays on it, as does Albert Margolis from the Leo Nocentelli (from the Meters) band. Mark Justin, Byron Gaither, Elizabeth Hangan, Gedina Jean, and a song mixed by Matt Forger (who was an engineer on many Michael Jackson records). I am very excited to have them all on the project. Joy Neely, who is a great photographer did all the pictures for the CD.

The is a link for a free song download on the front pages of the www.philgates.com and www.myspace.com/philgatesmusic sites. Feel free to check them out. The CD has also helped place us at #6 on the Blues Charts for Southern California on www.reverbnation.com/philgatesband.

Many thanks go to you, the fans, and supporters of the band. Thanks! You all make this possible.

Have a great day!

Phil
