Soul of a Harper Update
Every other day, I get someone asking me, "So have you finished Soul of a Harper yet?"
To which I must reply with a bowed head and a sigh, "No."
It's annoying as can be to be so close to finishing a project, but just can't put those final touches on it. So I've decided to try out a new promotion and that will give me a wee bit more time.
Right now, I have about eleven tracks completed. And two that just need me to get off my arse and do a couple things to finish the songs. In the real music world, you could say, I'm done, but then there's the part o'me that wants to give Great Value to his CD. Yeah, I have a nice album of music to help promote me as a folk singer/songwriter, as well as the Brobdingnagian Bards, but I want to do more!
I still want to record "Soul of a Harper" by Rie Sheridan. I have a few original songs I'd like to add. I still want to add a few more instrumental tunes. And I'd also have some poetry I'd like to record and add to the final album. Yeah, I could finish it up this week if I just set down and finished the stuff that's done, but that's just not quite good enough for me. I want an album packed with music that I can be Really proud of. Yeah, I'm proud of what I've done, but I want something just overflowing...
So this is what I've decided. The success of Songs of the Faire Folk which has been selling to faire folks like mad got me thinking. Why not put out an album that was pretty much just an introduction album. Price at extremely low (like $5) and encourage people to purchase multiple copies to share with friends.
Well, that's the plan, but I still want to put out a full-length CD packed with music. But I won't really get another opportunity after this album is done. So I've decided to release "Soul of a Harper (limited)". This will be the preview album of what's to come. It includes a bunch of my original songs and ballady stuff that people love, but it is not the complete the album. I'll have this limited album available by September. But the full-length album will be released a bit later.
Hopefully, this'll give my mind a wee bit o'rest since I have too much to do, and allow me to move on while still having an album to sell and promote myself.
So whatcha think?
