The
band's first album, produced by Motown veteran Billy Peaches,
yielded several songs that have received extensive airplay,
including
"One
Spirit," "I Can't Take It" and "My
Disease." One cut, "Free me," featuring
saxophonist Vince Lars and Keyboardist Eric Daniels, has
even
been
played on jazz station. The final song on the CD, "Shining
On," a Grand Funk Railroad tune, was selected for
inclusion on an upcoming
tribute
album to that 1970s power-rock band.
Redline
has recorded about half of the songs for its next CD,
"Big Machine," which Anderson says will have
a "more straight-forward approach.
We want to capture the energy of playing live," he
said.
Anderson
, who has produced albums for other musicians, is talking
a more active role in the production of Redline's new
CD. "The new album will have just
the three of us. We're recording all of the songs in a
continuous take to get a more a natural flow," he
said.
Like
the first CD, the new album is being recording at Anderson's
Global Recording Studio in San Rafael. The hands-on approach
gives the band complete control of its
music.Beside writing and playing the music, the band handles
its own business affairs.
Redline
recently signed a national distribution deal for its GRA
label that will get its CDs to a wider audience. "We
had some small record
labels interested in picking us up,
but we didn't want to sign everything away," Anderson
said.
The
band doesn't have any live dates scheduled in the near
future, but will probably do some promotion appearances
when the new CD is released. < Previous
