A few words from Grammy nominated Producer/Writer/Musician/Artist: "Bobby~bZo!~Cavaness"

Early talks about the possibilities of recording a brand new project began as far back as April 2007. Ty G. & longtime friend/brother: "bZo!" sat down & discussed in great lengths long & short term perspectives of what could & would be in regards to any particular timelines. As anyone who's in this 'business' called 'music' knows...timing is e'vrything!
Both myself & Ty had prior contractual commitments & family obligations that didn't allow us to pursue this venture right away, but that didn't stop us from creating ideas for this project while other interests kept us away from each other. Another little dilemma we were facing also... should we record this project through a major outlet that we had at the time or...pursue a more independent route. Well, fortunately, that problem was resolved for us in the personal invitation of our recording home's CEO: "Robert T-Bob Fortune", So it was set, after a year & some change of delays, detours, creativity, brain-storming...January of this year...2009 Ty & I began this journey we both affectionately call "FIRE STORM"

This album is a true & sincere labor of love for all parties involved!
Ten songs of Blood, Sweat, & Tears went into the components of making this awesome sonic achievement.

This CD/Album is now digitally available on iTunes! Although this CD would make a wonderful gift for anyone year-round, I feel it's right on time for the seasonal holidays that are upon us! So, in other words...please,please support "US" & this beautiful product by purchasing it. I promise U with all that is near & dear to my heart...U will NOT be disappointed! There's a song on the CD called: "CITY OF ANGELS" that has healing properties embedded in it! And I am not just saying this because I co-wrote it either!
I tell people all the time, when in composition mode, I can usually tell U 'evry step that I've taken to putting a song together. Like what came first, melody or music. With this particular song...I believe that I was in my most meditative state ever. So in this way, I feel that I was then channeling a spirit, an energy if U will. GOD, in fact was @ work here! I was a mere vessel on this venture.
