I have just released my 5th 'studio' album ANGEL ROOM BABY which I recorded at home playing all the instruments myself (with a few exceptions).
It is an experiment I wished to carry out to judge reaction and sales of such a production against many thousands of pounds/dollars spent in recording studios/hiring session players etc etc! It may also encourage those put off by the thought of such expense to consider other options and give it a go themselves.
I chose not to go down the crowdfunding route, as not my thing, but no criticism of others here.
Initial sales via website have been most encouraging despite no airplay to date.

Good thoughts to all, B
