Recorded
in “The Bus” in Malibu, CA with Rick
Dufay and
Fred Hostetler at the helm, this eight song collection was mixed

some embellished arrangements and a more produced sound.

HARD DAZE
Produced
by Fred Hostetler and Karen Lawrence, Hard Daze
features Blue By Nature in a more intimate blues setting. Lawrence
delivers great vocal performances again on songs mainly self penned. Hostetler and Lawrence add roots based acoustic guitars, bassist
Andrew Stewart and drummer Dan Potruch lock down the bottom,
while Brad Ayers adds clean and biting electric guitar riffs. Guest artists,
Joe Peluso,
harmonica, and Jamie Browning, lead guitar on Travelin’ Blues, help set the
tone on
this stirring yet straightforward bluesy CD.
