Once again we did it analog -- 2 inch magnetic tape, 16 track mixed to 1/4". J. J. Golden of Golden Mastering finessed the tracks. Wally Sound is the studio, the punch master, the audio dude. J.J. Davis is "Mr. Super Ears". Artwork by artist, Doug Shannon.
Our tune, "Sleepy Maggie," made the final cut of the pilot for the dramatic series on NBC called "The Black Donnellys." The pilot aired Monday, Feb. 26 at 10:00 p.m. (9:00 p.m. central) in the US. About 7 minutes into the show during the bar scene there's a brawl --"Sleepy Maggie" plays throughout the ensuing action. The show was created by Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Crash, Casino Royale) and written by Robert Moresco (Million Dollar Baby, Crash). The show was well-written, had great acting and an excellent soundtrack. ;-) We were very excited to be part of it.
