Hey everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I just posted the last song I've written for the album on myspace tonight! I think we're finally done with the writing. We have 12 completed songs for the album, and have at least 4 other songs completed that may surface later. One song may be recorded as electric AND acoustic, bringing our total to 13 songs.

This new song is one of my older songs called "I'm Not Ready". I recorded it several years ago, and had no intention on using it until Alex and I worked on it a few days ago. I think this song may be our best ballad on the album, and I can't wait to hear some feedback on this one! I think my Journey influences shine through pretty bright on this one. Let us know what you think. Check it out at www.myspace.com/jimrykbost Thanks,


Jim

I see you've been multi-tasking tonight too! I've been listening to Foreigner, watching the Cowboys, posting and working on a painting. You've been listening to Foreigner, uploading your tune and fighting with Styx fans. I'll check out your tune in a few.

EEEEhhhhh... I do what I can! Those wankers can all kiss my ass too! Anyone who would get offended by me questioning whether Styx should still be calling themselves that needs to go outside and breathe some fresh air in for a change. They could also take their JY undies off long enough to wash them every once in a while too!

Jimbo...I had to wait until the game was over so I could give this my full attention!!!
All I can say is WOW, breathtaking, the intro is fabulous and it just gets better from there...
I LOVE IT!!!
The Guitar....everything....beautiful!!!:wink:

Thanks VERY much! I really appreciate it, and I'm very glad you liked it. I know I say this every time I post a new song, but I really do think this is our best song yet! It seems like the more songs we work on together, the better we gel as a team. I'm SO anxious to get these into the studio and it's KILLING me!

It looks like the drums now have to wait until the end of December to be recorded. Once those are finished, we're going to fly Alex here for at least a week or so, so we can mix the album. I'm sure we'll take advantage of the time together and try to write songs for a follow-up album. If I have any way to make it happen, i'll keep him here for a couple of weeks. We'll finish a whole other album!:wink:

Ok..."I'm Not Ready".....great intro.... very romantic in words and sound....overall I think it's a great song! The only criticism I have is that it's a bit too short for a good kissing make out slow dance .......so could you extend it? well done, Jim.

Thank you very much, but that's NOT the entire song. It's just a CLIP of the song! I think you'll like the ending, because it changes quite a bit. You'll just have to wait until the album comes out to hear it though...

TEASE! ...Cool! any idea when you'll be finished? Roughly? Spring maybe or is summer more realistic?

Blueskies, it looks like drums will have to wait until the end of December now. Once those are finished, Alex should come here in January or February at the latest! Once he gets here, we'll mix the album, get it mastered, and get with the record labels. Once we get that far, it'll be up to the labels. I feel confident that we'll be picked up, but it depends on what the labels can offer us. It's a tough time for musicians right now.

Either way, we should be looking at a late spring release (with or without label support!). If I have to pay completely out-of-pocket for it, this album will be recorded and packaged with the highest of quality!

Thanks very much for your support.

atmospheric, smooth........... I like it.

what can i say Jim?? this song is beyond beautiful, so melodic and Alex sound great (tell him i love his voice!)gracias por tú música bella

Ya know readin that thread I get the sense that Journey fans go to concerts w friends, get drunk, and get laid.

Styx fans go to concerts alone, in full denim suits, and go home and play Dungeons & Dragons in their JY underwear.

Whaddya think

I'm a huge Styx fan man, but I know what I've seen at Dennis/Styx shows and I know what I've seen at Journey shows
