don't want to appear to negative.... but a short cd ( looks like about 30 minutes) of Beach Boy covers..... my only question would be...why? wouldn't a recording of Chris's own songs or some interesting unusual covers be a better offering? just can't see there being to much interest in a recording like this... IMHO Title: Re: CHRIS FARMER - NEW CD Post by: the captain on January 24, 2008, 06:52:07 PM It's one thing to pay to see a cover band play. But to pay for a cover band's disc?
This seems like an entirely unnecessary album. Title: Re: CHRIS FARMER - NEW CD Post by: Aegir on January 24, 2008, 09:56:15 PM Well, call me a ridiculous completist, but I ordered this CD and have already received the sampler. Summertime Blues is a really interesting arrangement. It's very Beach Boys-esque, much more so than the actual Beach Boys recording. The other songs are pretty okay, except Barbara Ann, which sucks, and California Sleepwalking, which is amazing! I guess it's a Chris Farmer original, and I really like it. If he released an entire album of songs like it, it would be a pretty great album.

Title: Re: CHRIS FARMER - NEW CD Post by: Dutchie on January 25, 2008, 03:49:27 AM i pre-ordered but when will it be shipped Tom ?
Title: Re: CHRIS FARMER - NEW CD Post by: Tom Martin on January 25, 2008, 06:53:51 AM Chris has been putting final mixes on the cd this week, added some more vocals on Barbara Ann's opening.
The liner notes have been completed. I don't have the final master yet to send off to the manufacturer. Once received, it will take two weeks to print them. I estimate Mid- to-late February for delivery. Then I'll ship them to those who have pre-orders. For the autographed cds, I'll open them and send the covers to Chris to sign ... so add another 10 days if you ordered a signed cd. Thanks!

Is California Sleepwalking the same song the Surf city allstars did on their DVD?
Title: Re: CHRIS FARMER - NEW CD Post by: Tom Martin on January 25, 2008, 10:14:06 AM "California Sleepwalking" is the same song, but with a completely different arrangement and sound. I like them both, but Chris puts a great spin on the song.
