Dean Smith who wrote "Just People" and "Promise of Love" is a local bass player and songwriter. Currently playing bass in Private Domain he is releasing an original CD. I heard Just People years ago and somehow knew I would be involved in helping to produce it . Jerry McCann sang on Dean's "Promise of Love" and wrote and sang "The Distance."

Larry and I played drums and percussion with many of the players in different bands including "The International Reggae Allstars", "Soul Patrol", and "Cry on Cue." Jim French brought his instrument making and playing skills to the album with some instrumental magic.
Jeff Clough was the recording engineer at "Cloud 9 Studio". He brought a great vibe to the project. Steve Shepherd did the final mastering in Burbank at "Blue Nile". He worked with Kenny G and on the Music for the T.V. show "Touched by an Angel. The Angels were with me as I recorded and worked with a great group of singers, songwriters, musicians, and most of all as we dedicate this project to the memory of my brother, Douglas Alan Johnson. |
