Album artwork is all finished, just waiting on some promotional material designs to be finalized so I can order everything all at once.&nbsp; On another note, I read about the passing of one of the biggest supporters of my music today, Mike Worthey. I'm very shocked and sad about this news. I wrote about it on my blog (<a target="_new" href="http://www.artsyintros.blogspot.com">www.artsyintros.blogspot.com) as a way to get thoughts out of my head. He was one of this album's biggest Kickstarter pledgers, too. So, I've decided to dedicate the album to him.&nbsp; Thanks, Mike.&nbsp;

We got the majority of the album artwork and info all layed out and it's all ready to go aside from a couple little things! I should be getting a hard copy of the master in the mail by the end of this week, also. Just a few small things to wrap up and it will all be ready to be sent to get copied! I'm pretty sure it will be ready to be in the hands of Kickstarter supporters by the end of April! Then, everyone else shortly after that. I am beginning to plan some CD Release shows and other performances for May, June and July. I would love to play some house concerts in there. If you're interested in hosting one, take a look at the House Concert info page on my site! &nbsp; I am beginning to plan some CD Release shows and other performances for May, June and July.

Just sent final payment and everything to the wonderful mixing engineer, Sean Killary! Next up is album layout! Whew! I was thinking today, on my long drive from Pullman to Seattle, how lucky I am to have gotten to work with such a great group of musicians from start to finish of this project. Everyone really understood my music and helped get it to a great spot for this album. No one every tried to push me some weird way or made me feel anything less than pretty dang awesome. Makes me happy.&nbsp; :)&nbsp;

Wahoo! Wed, 14 Mar 2012 20:18:13 GMT AD0353D6C40344F79B1E4A39556CCC57 Mixing http://allisonpreisinger.com/2ndalbum.cfm?feature=3084571&postid=1849811 We're on to the mixing phase! Sean Killary is mixing all the tracks this week, then he'll be working on the mastering. If all goes as planned all that will be finished by the beginning of next week! Getting close to the finish line!&nbsp; Thu, 08 Mar 2012 05:16:08 GMT 0001AA65610E6AC98A23F507544DC4BD Three Little Tracks Left! http://allisonpreisinger.com/2ndalbum.cfm?feature=3084571&postid=1793096 &nbsp;Currently, I'm listening to a take of my song &quot;Messengers of Summertime&quot; that I did last night. Drove me nuts all day, but it's possible my part for the song is finished. If not, I'll redo it tonight without stressing out.&nbsp; &nbsp;Then it's just a cello part, backing vocal part and solo guitar part left to track for the whole album! Afterwards everything will be prepared for the mixing engineer by the fantastic and amazing Vanessa Collier, who recorded us in November.&nbsp; &nbsp;The album artwork is just about finished as well! My creative cousin Angela Boyle has done a great job. I'll be going to her place tomorrow to check it out and give any final feedback if necessary.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I'll be meeting with a videographer tomorrow morning to plan a video for my song &quot;Worrying About Worrying&quot;, which I plan to release as a single before the album is officially out.&nbsp; &nbsp;Exciting stuff - it's great that it's all coming together! Thank you all for your patience and support! -Allison  Then it's just a cello part, backing vocal part and solo guitar part left to track for the whole album!

]]> Wed, 25 Jan 2012 09:20:22 GMT 3EDDDF544F2FE5045CBB51688C3DF93E A Little Set Back http://allisonpreisinger.com/2ndalbum.cfm?feature=3084571&postid=1709283 &nbsp;Currently I'm in the process of finding a mixing engineer. I had a fantastic one but she has too much coming up to be able to get my project done in the amount of time I would have liked. So, just a tiny set-back. We may need to push back the release date a bit. I still have a few backing vocal tracks to record, a cello part to get recorded by someone and one song to re-record. A bit of work left to do aside from mixing.&nbsp; &nbsp;Other than that I have found an artist who will be designing the album cover! More on that later.&nbsp; &nbsp;I will be releasing a single before the full album is released and have discussed a video with an interested videographer as well! Lots to put together, so as new things develop I'll be sure to post here about them!  Other than that I have found an artist who will be designing the album cover! More on that later.
