One of the three major projects I've been working on the last few months is –
The Sherman Brothers Songbook
[floatright]
[/floatright]This is a 59 track 2 CD set chronicling the Sherman Brothers' Disney career from "Tall Paul" to
The Tigger Movie. Along with the usual hits, we've been able to include some rare recordings as well as songs released on CD for the very fist time. Also, amongst the 59 tracks, are three Bonus Tracks (from a vintage Disneyland Records release) of songs The Boys wrote for a flying car movie.
The CD is packaged in a 2 Disc 'Slim-Line' case and includes a 20-page booklet with liner notes and pictures of the Shermans throughout their various projects. Richard Sherman not only supplied us with some of his personal photos, but joined me in the studio for a couple of days as we restored and mastered this terrific collection.
The Sherman Brothers Songbook will make its debut at the D23 Expo in September, and will be released nation-wide shortly thereafter.
Of course you would expect me to say this, but this album turned out really great. I hope you'll enjoy it half as much as we did putting it together.
