Partial Discography : Albums
Sixpence None
the Richer: Divine Discontent
Even though I quit playing with the band in 2001, the bulk
of this record was recorded in 2000, and so my playing is featured on more than half the tracks on
this record. Produced by Paul Fox, beautifully engineered by Mark Chevalier and mixed by Tom
Lord-Alge.
Sixpence None
The Richer: Sixpence None The Richer
The Grammy nominated, RIAA Certified Platinum
selling album that featured the breakout hit, "Kiss Me." Produced by Steve Taylor and wonderfully
engineered and mixed by Russ Long, with additional mixing by Bob Clearmountain. The follow-up
hit, "There She Goes" was also later added to this album.
Sixpence None
the Richer: Tickets for a Prayer Wheel
Out-takes and B-Sides from Sixpence's "This
Beautiful Mess" CD. There were some extended jams, a live track, some moody percussion and
even a re-mix done by friend and former roommate, Sal Salvador. Not only does this CD feature
my drumming, and vocals(!), but I make my producing debut on this album with an angst-filled
vibey take on an old Patsy Cline song.
Sixpence None
the Richer: This Beautiful Mess
The second CD Sixpence recorded was my first with the
band. We tracked the rhythm tracks in 4 days at Omni Sound studios in Nashville. Armand John
Petri produced and many fans say that this is their favorite Sixpence album.
Sixpence
None the Richer: The Best of Sixpence None the Richer
Includes the hits "Kiss Me,"
"There She Goes," and "Breathe Your Name" and many other of the songs I played on and helped
promote during my 7+ years with the band.
[Various
Artists]: Return Of The Grievous Angel: Tribute To Gram Parsons
I played drums with the
Rolling Creek Dippers, aka: Buddy and Julie Miller, Victoria Williams, Mark Olsen, Jim
Lauderdale.
Rebecca St.
James: Transform
I played on a track produced by Matt Bronlewee, that featured the
London Symphony Orchestra and some very "Bjork" sounding vocals by Rebecca. I think we did
about 40 tracks of various percussion overdubs for this track too.
[Various
Artists]: City on a Hill: Collection
I played on the first City on a Hill CD as well as a track or
two on the second CD.
Steve
Hindalong, et.al: City on a Hill: Reflections on Our Spiritual Journey (Ccm Book)
Okay,
this is a book. But I wrote the first essay that appears in the book and took all the photos that
appear as well. You can actually read my essay by clicking this link and "looking inside the book."
Fun, huh?
[Various
Artists]: Making God Smile: An Artists' Tribute to the Songs of Beach Boy Brian Wilson
I
played drums and percussion (timpani, chimes, beat box) on Jason Harrod's version of "In My
Room" for this Brian Wilson tribute album.
[Various
Artists]: Roaring Lambs
I played drums with Sixpence None the Richer, Emmylou Harris,
Steve Taylor and percussion with Burlap to Cashmere on this CD.
Plumb
Loops, fragments of songs and lots of percussion is what I remember from this session.
Producer Dan Haseltine and Matt Bronlewee made this a fun and creative time in the studio. It was
great to be a part of the debut album of such an amazing artist.
Honey: Lost on You
I played on two tracks from this record produced by Dan
and Steve from Jars of Clay.
[Various
Artists]: Exodus
I played with Sixpence None the Richer, Michael W. Smith, and Kenny
Meeks on this CD.
Kim Taylor: So
Black, So Bright
I played drums on this CD that was produced by Jack Henderson. This
is one of my favorite projects to have played on. Some of the tracks feature Linford and Karin
from Over the Rhine as well.
Phantasmic: Fluffy Vs. Phantasmic
"Rainy Day Assembly" appears on this record. This out-take from Sixpence's "This Beautiful
Mess" session was used by Tess Wiley (aka, Phantasmic) and features shaker performed by
percussion wiz Lalo Davila.
Frankly Scarlet: Stories I've
Heard
I played and recorded with this band back when I lived in Dallas. We even shot a
video featuring the Dallas skyline as our backdrop.
[Various
Artists]: Never Say Dinosaur
My first time to work with producer Brent Bourgeois and one
of my first times in the studio with Sixpence. I borrowed a whole bunch of percussion from Steve
Hindalong and had a great time overdubbing frame drums, rattan shakers and the like. The track
ended up sounding very Daniel Lanois-ish with some Peter Gabriel-esq type layers thrown in for
good measure.
The Basics: Grow
I was
really happy with how this record turned out. An honest, well produced CD by a couple of North
Carolina's (and Northern California's) best songwriters. I also took the photos that appear in the
CD booklet.
Sixpence None
the Richer: Mega 3 Collection
Includes Sixpence's first 3 CD's. Of these 3 CD's my
drumming only appears on the 2nd and 3rd disc. The first CD featured the drumming of Chris
Dodds, one of my favorite people and drummers.
Sixpence None
the Richer: Collage: A Portrait of Their Best
A compilation of the best tracks from the
band's REX years. And yes, that's me in the corner with the beard and glasses.
Sixpence
None the Richer: The Early Years
New Sixpence compilation from the REX years.
Includes songs and b-sides from the early work I recorded with Sixpence - pre "Kiss Me"
era.
Various
Artists: Pointfolio 1.0
A radio station compilation featuring in-studio and concert live
cuts.
Includes, Sixpence doing "Kiss Me"(with me on drums), and Fleming and John's "Ugly Girl", Dido,
BareNaked Ladies, etc.
Partial Discography : Singles
Sixpence None
the Richer: Breathe Your Name / Northern Lights
CD single of the Top 20 hit, Breathe
Your Name w/ non-album track Northern Lights, from Sixpence's Divine Discontent record. Both
songs feature my drumming.
Sixpence None
the Richer: Kiss Me
Imported Single of the most played song from the year 2000. This
song features my drumming and went to the top of the charts in over 10 countries (US, UK,
Canada, Israel, Japan, etc...). I also appeared in all the videos and TV appearances that helped
promote this song. Interesting side note: this song was chosen by Britain's Royal Family to be
played for over 200 Million viewers during Prince Edward's 1999 wedding.
Sixpence None
the Richer: There She Goes
CD single of the 11th hour addition to Sixpence's self-titled
album which helped solidify Sixpence as a legitmate "Breakthrough Artist" according to R&R
magazine. The song went on to become a Top 10 Single with an appealing video (featuring
"Saving Private Ryan" star, Adam Goldberg), by director and good friend of the band, Brandon
Dickerson.
Sixpence
None the Richer: I Can't Catch You
Import Single of a song from the band's self-titled
album. This was one of the songs Bob Clearmountain mixed and it was honor to have him work
his magic on my drum tracks!
Partial Discography : Soundtracks
[various
artists]: Here On Earth (2000 Film)
This Soundtrack album features two songs I did with
Sixpence, one a cover of a Sam Phillips/ T-Bone Burnett song: "I Need Love" and the other, the
opening track ("We Have Forgotten") from Sixpence's self-titled record.
[various
artists]: Snow Day: Music From The Motion Picture
Sixpence's version of The La's tune,
"There She Goes" is on this soundtrack album. And yes, I'm playing drums on that
song...
[various
artists]: Bounce: Music from and Inspired by the Miramax Motion Picture (2000 film)
Another song ("Love") I did with Sixpence from their self-titled album, appears on this
soundtrack. Mark Nash and I played a drum duet of sorts to get the primal heavy-handed
approach needed for this wonderful song.
[various
artists]: Dick
One of my favorite tracks. Everytime I hear this song ("Dancing Queen"), I
can't help but think of Alan Partridge.
[various
Artists] : Felicity: Senior Year (tv soundtrack)
Features "Melody of You" a beautiful song
by Sixpence None the Richer that I played drums on and was featured on the series final episode (I
think).
