We began working on this album one year ago, February 2010.  It all started when songwriter Tyler Nelson approached me about submitting a demo to Moodring Records.  Several months went by and I hadn’t heard anything, I figured they had decided to move in a different direction. Then one evening I got a knock on my door, it was Corey Cowan guitar player for GCA, he handed me a disc  of a two song demo.

I put it in the CD player and instantly feel in love with Six Ships To Starboard (demo). So I asked them to come in record a few singles for Moodring Records. We got them in February 2010 at The Studio and cut the two singles in an hour. Things were going good so I asked them if they had anymore they wanted to cut.

Two days later we had the basic tracks for twelve  songs cut. We began working on recording the overdubs and had all but a few parts recorded before I moved to Saint Louis. Shortly after that Corey and I were hired to due a US tour in May-June of 2010. After the tour Corey and I got back into the studio to finish up the overdubs and began mixing.  That process took us another 6 months of revisions and reflection periods.

The album is now finished and available in stream version below. You can also purchase the album on iTunes and bandcamp.

The Book Of Matthew

Lou Whitney & D. Clinton Thompson - The Book Of Matthew

released – October 2010

D Clinton Thompson hates to see a good song go to waste. With a handful of protegee Matthew Darkly’s demos that never quite fit in anywhere else, and longtime creative partner Lou Whitney at the helm, Thompson set out to make an album of quirky heart-breaking ballads and dark, but sugar-sweet pop songs. They find the place where Burt Bacharach and Alice Cooper meet, and it’s good to be there.

  • Produced recorded and mixed by Lou Whitney and D. Clinton Thompson
  • Performing on this album: D. Clinton Thompson – Guitar, Keys, Drums, and Vocals, Lou Whitney – Bass Guitar, Cindy Woolf – Background Vocals, Matt Carlock – Background Vocals.
