BACK TO BLUE-EYED SOUL

* Back to Blue-Eyed Soul is a first-time compilation from David Lasley's prolific career as a singer, songwriter and background vocalist, which has spanned more than 30 years. This retrospective features rare recordings dating back to 1966, many of which are being made available for the first time on this CD.

* Among Back to Blue-Eyed Soul's selections are several newly released recordings, songs from two of Lasley's early groups (The Utopias and Rosie), out-of-print solo singles, movie themes and radio jingles. Soulful and melodic, the tracks range in style from pop to jazz to R&B.

* According to David, "Over the years I've found that there has been a lot of interest in my early work and my solo recordings, which have been hard to find, so this compilation puts all these elements together in one piece of work. Back to Blue-Eyed Soul is a collection of some of my personal favorites. It also connects all the dots in my career, from my early material to the present. On many tracks, it focuses on my work as a singer rather than as a writer. In fact, some of my favorite songs on the album are ones I didn't write. The CD also offers a look at some of the specialized work that I've done, like the jingles and the movie themes."
