Adobo artist Bobby Hird has agreed to re-release his unlabeled first solo CD effort, Heartbeat Away, first appearing in January of 2001, on Adobo.
This collector’s item contains many gems from Bobby. As usual, Bobby pooled the extraordinary talent of many accomplished musicians and a few not usually known for their musical prowess. You remember the TV show Lost? The record contains a few tunes co-written and/or performed with actor Terry O’Quinn, who played pilot John Locke on the series. Terry lends his writing talents and beautiful tenor voice to this recording.
The CD also features two songs from the soundtrack of the public service video, “Heroin Kills,” including the title track from the video. The video was distributed to libraries and anti-drug coalitions nationwide and was initially released in 1999.
The Heartbeat Away release was recorded at Sheffield Studios. Tracks include: Heartbeat Away, Crazy At Home, Sweet Commotion, Counting On You, Good Enough For Me, It’s Time, Girl Wonder (studio version), Poundin’ Down The Sweets, Heroin Kills, and Liam’s Blues.
The CD is available in our store, in limited quantities.
