Newsletter from Jimmy Carl Black ( 10-17-06 Updated 01-20-07)
Hi Everyone, I hope you will forgive me if this letter isn´t right. I have never written a newsletter but I think it is about time I started. After all, I do care about all of you. To start, my health is not too bad at the moment although I will never get rid of this leukimia but I am still able to go on tours and record new products. I have a few new products out now.
“How Blue Can You Get” is the new CD from my band The Jimmy Carl Black Band. I am singing and playing drums on this CD. Mick Pini is playing guitar and Roddie Gilliard is on bass. It is a collection of songs that we all have wanted to do for a long time. The second new CD I have out is with my old friend Eugene Chadbourne. The band is called The Jack and Jim Show and the CD is “Hearing Is Believing” and features Pat Thomas on keyboards. I don´t know if all of you know about this band but we have 17 CD out and have been playing together since 1992. This CD will be released on Boxholder label very soon in the states. The title says it all with this one. The third produce I will have out soon is a re-make of a CD I did in the 1990´s called “When Do We Get Paid?” and will be coming out in the states soon. I will keep you informed about the exact release date for this, OK. This is a complication of material I recorded over the years that has not been released properly and now will be. I am still touring as often as I have work.
Please stay in touch with my website, www.jimmycarlblack.com http://www.jimmycarlblack.com and the tour dates section of it. Everything I am doing will be on it. I think that the original Geronimo Black is going to have a re-union set of gigs next year in the states. I really hope so as we have been talking about it. I am very in contact with all the original members (at least the ones that are still alive) and we want to do it. My son, the real Geronimo Black, will be joining us for these gigs on stunt guitar. He is REALLY GOOD.
The last item I will tell you about is that my book is really coming along well and I hope that 2007 will be when it is released. I sure want it out before I crock out. I hope I haven´t bored you too much but keep in mind that I am a simple Indian Of The Group.
WITH LOVE,
JCB.
