Nashville-based recording engineer/producer and a Los Angeles-based
performer have teamed up to create a unique twist on a classic Genesis
album. This fall, Nick D'Virgilio of Spock's Beard fame and
engineer/producer Mark Hornsby are re-recording the Genesis classic The Lamb
Lies Down On Broadway in it's entirety. Produced at Java Jive Studio in
Nashville, the album features some of Music City's best musicians, taking
the songs in a whole new direction.
"We wanted to see what would happen if we exposed the songs to a different
climate of musicians," says D'Virgilio, "The early Genesis recordings are so
musical and very bluesy when you get right down to it. They really lend
themselves to some different interpretations. When it came time to figure
out what label to work with, I remembered working with Shawn on the Amaran's
Plight release and had been really pleased with how that all worked out and
I knew what a big Genesis fan he is, so I'm glad it worked out."
