The wonderful Greg Leisz recording his pedal steel performance at the end of Queen of California. We only ended up using flourishes of his playing in the final track but all of it was spectacular and deserves to be heard… One of the very few unseen videos from the recording of Born and Raised.

We are happy to share video footage of John’s interview at the intimate Clive Davis Theater at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, CA last month. Hear John discuss his musical influences, his career, and the recording process of Born and Raised in the first four videos of the series, posted at grammy.com:

Two ebay auctions to benefit NCIRE end tomorrow, May 31st, at 7PM ET. Available for bidding are an autographed Fender Stratocaster used on the 2007 “Continuum” tour and a framed photograph by Danny Clinch from the “Born and Raised” album photoshoot, signed by both he and John.
A note from Danny Clinch on the featured photograph:
“John and I have done quite a few shoots together. The beauty of that is the comfort level. John played me some of the new music and we discussed the vibe and style of the shoot. I have always loved the immediacy of Polaroid and when I shot this one and saw the results, I knew it was a winner. I love the imperfect nature of it. And it helps that John is a damn good subject.”
Additional details on both items can be found here. All proceeds from both auctions will benefit NCIRE.
