The Latest- Notes from Bobby:

Just back from Boulder with a GREAT sounding master of the new album. Basically, mastering is a process where the mixes of the songs are tweaked overall in regards to levels and general eq, so that when the cd is manufactured, it just sounds better.

As for a release date.... well, it looks like early summer 2011. This fall I'll be going back on the road with Arlo for the "Journey On" tour, which will run through spring 2011. After I come off of the road, then I'll be doing shows in support of the new album....... that's the plan as it looks now.

Love and Peace- Bobby
