TAKE ME AS I AMThe new album from Christopher Cross.
PURCHASE CD
"Take Me As I Am"
is a unique offering from Christopher Cross, a hybrid of sorts – the songs are instrumentals with choruses to create the lyrical landscape. This is not quite a “guitar” album, but it leaves the listener with no question about his expertise on the subject. Two very special songs are “Roberta," dedicated to Christopher’s mentor, Joni Mitchell, and “Truth” with a lyric by Rob Meurer, one of the last songs Rob wrote before his tragic passing. This song is sung as a duet with Gigi Worth, a name that will be familiar to Christopher’s fans. Gigi and Rob were also very close, which makes her performance on this track all the more meaningful. The album closes with a song in memory of Rob called "Alvah," (Rob’s middle name), which features beautiful string arrangements by Chris Walden. In Christopher’s words, “It was a blessing to work with all these talented folks in the making of this album which holds so many bittersweet emotions for me. I didn't expect to make another one, but, as Rob reminded me once, it's what we do.” Enjoy!

Friends, I wanted to let you know that I have embarked on a quest to create lyric videos for my entire catalog, since You Tube has become the biggest source for people to listen to music. My purpose in this effort is to garner attention for my more obscure songs, the “deep cuts” as they say. Given You Tube's algorithm, my hope is folks who search for “Sailing” may discover “November” or ”Walking In Avalon” and others. My dear friend and BG singer Marcia Ramirez introduced me to a wonderfully talented video designer in Nashville, Shaye Smith to create the content. Shaye has been working hard and we have been able to post a song each week. I invite you to check out my Video section or visit my You Tube Channel . As always thank you for your support.
Friends it's with great pride and affection I let you know about a great new now album from my dear friend Jeffery Foskett. Christopher GET IT HERE.
