The Collins Brothers CD is starting to come together! This past weekend I trekked down to Gainesville, Fla. to hand off my beloved hard drive to Musician/Producer/Professional Model/Engineer Michael J. On said hard drive are all of the ProTools files of the upcoming Collins Brothers CD. Michael will be playing some bass guitar, lead guitar, keyboards, and whatever else comes to mind. Having blossomed into a very talented mixing engineer, Michael will also be mixing the record at his F.I.G. Studios.
He just sent me two of the first mixes, and I'm getting pretty pumped about it. So far, so good! For those of you who do not know, The Collins Brothers is just what it sounds like: Matt Collins and Bo Collins. We are Brothers. We grew up singing together, and still try to as often as possible. We have always wanted to record a CD with our take of some of our favorite songs. So, we did! The Collins Brothers CD is an acoustic based Americana-style collection of some of our favorite tunes. Here are the tracks we recorded...hopefully we like them all enough to include them all on the final CD!

"Winding Wheel" - originally by Ryan Adams
"Tear Stained Eye" - originally by Son Volt
