Alan Frew, So Blind

Alan Frew is responsible for keeping me in L.A. from autumn 1993 until the spring of 1994.

By May we finished mixing his Hold On album and sent it off to Stephen Marcussen in Hollywood to be mastered.
After the last evening of mixing on the old Neve in the big room at A & M, I left California on a red eye for 2 months of recording with Duran Duran in the South of France…while I was there Alanis lived in my studio-house in the Hollywood Dell, yards from the home of Trigger.

This is our song, So Blind, from those Hollywood Hills sessions twenty years ago. Justin Clayton on guitar sweetening. Your’s truly on piano and at the helm with Walter Turbitt and Steve Churchyard, with Steve Ferrone on drums, Chris Garcia on bass!

It was a radio hit in Canada in 1995.
