Vocalist Mark Miller, keyboardist Gregg Hobie Hubbard, lead guitarist Duncan Cameron, bassist Jim Scholten and drummer Joe Smyth mark their phenomenal two-decade milestone with the release of their 18th album, Can You Hear Me Now. The albums title track is enjoying positive nods from radio nation wide. Can You Hear Me Now was recorded on Miller's Dirt Road Farms in the internationally acclaimed studio that he and co-producer Brian Tankersley built, which Hubbard says, made for an inspiring and flexible work environment. It was our little kingdom, and the music was free to happen when it was ready to happen. It didn't feel like a studio where there was clock-watching goin' on. We could go in whenever. Work during the day, people could scatter and take their kids to what they needed to do, come back after dinner. It allowed things to progress as they needed to over the course of the work, Hubbard reveals. Everybody felt so up about the project and we were tryin' new things and the songs were comin' together really well. There's a great deal of diversity on this album, promises Hubbard, who says that Can You Hear Me Now took more than two years to record, owing to the band's maniacal touring schedule and personal priorities. There are things that are just flat out fun like 'I Need A Girlfriend'-although when you're sittin' home alone on a Friday it's not so fun. And then there's 'Angels,' which, to me, is as beautiful a thing as Mark as ever written. We cover a lot of ground and that makes it a more interesting album. You listen to it and I hope you get a fuller picture of real people behind it, instead of 10 songs that are all the same thing.
