Kevyn Lettau -(1990) - Whenever Your Heart Wants to Sing

Kevyn Lettau This was my first baby back 1990. In many ways the thrill of that experience will never be matched. Everything was so new. The musicians were the cream of the LA crop. The songs were mostly old friends to me already that I had wanted to record for a long time. We did the entire record including the mixing in 6 days. Because I had no deal and no money it was the only way to go. And actually I am kind of glad we did it like that because everything is very fresh and live sounding. There was no time to go back and rethink how I wanted to sing things. It was first take almost all the way! My ex-husband Michael Shapiro put the whole project together, calling in favors from old and new friends. I had never met or sung with Russell Ferrante or Mitch Forman who both ended up playing with me over the years. Also Louis Conte and I became friends and of course Jerry Watts, who still plays and records with me!
