New Album Release!

Well it's the night before the new cd releases and I'm actually at home tonight resting. I debated getting out and doing something, but I decided to stay at home with the dog and watch tv. I'm not ever home much, so it's actually nice to be here at the moment!

So, the big day is upon me, April 24, 2011. It's the release of the new album "Abide With Me". Most new music releases on Tuesdays, but I opted for Easter Sunday. I'm playing at a great church in downtown Houston (River Oaks Baptist Church) and I wanted to share this new project with everyone there on Easter. I've spent the past year working on this project and am thrilled with the way it turned out. I would spent hours in the studio working and really cherished every moment because, I think, it was the first time I started to let go and feel with my heart as I recorded and not worry about where my hands were going to go. They know what to do!! If you haven't been in a studio before, it can be an interesting experience. In my case, I was sitting at this AMAZING 9' Kawai Grand in a sound proof booth, headphones on, and a plasma screen behind me so the engineer could see me and I could see him. With all that going on, it can be hard to "lose" yourself in the music. You're worried about making sure you don't screw up because there is no "studio magic" to fix a piano mistake. It's either right or WRONG! HA! Regardless, I found my way and really poured my soul into every note that I played. It's not my first album, but it's one that I feel even more connected to. I can only hope that you can hear just some of that in the music when you listen to the new cd. There has been a great deal of emotional, spiritual, and musical growth since the first album.

Anyway, as I make a plug for the cd: www.josephfuller.com, iTunes, Amazon : Make sure you get your copy!!

I pray you all have a wonderful Easter and remember the real reason why we celebrate this season of renewal, forgiveness, and grace.

Peace to you all,
Joseph
