New Album in the works!

Indeed, where have we been?

Starting at the end of November, Blinded By View has been working non-stop on Jetsunma's upcoming album: "Ellinwood Ranch Blues." This album contains 12 songs featuring Jetsunma's brilliant lyrics, which on this record are rendered in the traditional anguish of the blues. She is ruthless and eloquent, daring to speak of her heartbreak without losing touch with her message of kindness and selflessness. And by heart break I mean both temporal and spiritual, so don't think exclusively in ordinary terms.

Since returning from Dakini Valley, where BBV composed the core material and recorded Jetsunma's vocals, we've been working with local musicians to augment our new songs. Just last weekend Kevin Jefferson, a trumpeter, and Russell Lyles, a saxophonist, recorded on two of the songs. It was a spectacular display of musicianship such that Jetsunma is now eager to have the rest of our material elevated by the talents of studio musicians. To that end we have many exciting session booked over the coming months.

To top it all off we have made an exciting arrangement with an amazing mix engineer to put the finishing touches on the album after we have completed recording.

You will be stunned by this album. Those who have heard it are amazed, and they have not heard it in its final form. Things are looking bright!
