New ALBUM release "Land Of Plenty"

<span class="postbody">Well, today is the official release day of <span style="font-weight: bold;">Land Of Plenty</span>, my 9th studio album. <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" /> <br /> <br /> The idea for LOP was inspired by a song that was largely written by a friend of mine, a song which is in fact the title track. <br /> Rhys and I go way back...back to high school days. The song essentially talks about immigrants to Aotearoa, (New Zealand), back in the days when it was indeed considered to be the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Land Of Plenty</span>. My parents were amongst those immigrants that came here back in the early 60's. Well, times have changed since then of course...but it's still not a bad spot all in all <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif" border="0" alt="Wink" /> <br /> <br /> So, LOP is my musical homage, both in song and instrumental, to my home, the city of Auckland, and the country New Zealand where I have lived most of my life. (I'm a Brit by birth). <br /> <br /> I am hugely grateful to those that helped out and directly contributed to the songs: <br /> My long time collab buddy: <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Wolf Menzel- vocals <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Lenny Lee - vocals &amp; bass <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Nick Crosby - vocals, guitars, lyrics <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Jet Crawford - composition, lyrics, vocals, guitars &amp; bass <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Nate Pike - lead guitar <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Neil Bonfield - lead guitar <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Geoff Van Maastricht - dobro of course!! <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Vaughn Fowler - lead guitar <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> Wim Koopman &lt;- no Sherz album would be complete without some Wim sax onboard!! <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif" border="0" alt="Very Happy" /> <br /> <img src="http://forum.cubase.net/phpbb2/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif" border="0" alt="Cool" /> John Wooten - drums <br /> <br /> and a couple of local friends as well, Samuel Braverman and Shaelie Kraemborg.
