a voice of your own is James Crabtree...in the fall of 2004 I recorded some of my first solo material on an eight track in my basement... I picked some of the most personal songs for my demo "saturday night special" I just wanted to keep things simple and write songs that I felt good about no matter what it sounded like... saturday night special was ment to send a personal message to some of the people who were close to me at the time and to sample myself as a solo artist... My second album "Hollywood" was released independantly in January of 2007...This album was produced over a ten month period during the fall and winter months of 2006... This album was recorded in my home studio and mixed and masterd by myself...I was a little more patient with the song writting process and with the production of the second album...By taking a little more time with these songs I was able to step back and really disect everything that was going on with me at the time...This allowed me to truly express what was on my heart and write songs that dramatically touched on some of the events that had recently occured in my life...This second album was meant as a chance for me to really explore myself as a song writer...I wanted to give everyone a better chance to get to know the person that I am thru some of my art...I will be working on some new material for a demo in the fall of 2007...This might be released by early 08...I have A Voice Of Your Own merchandise for sale at www.myspace.com/avoiceofyourown... so check back for updates,tour info,new songs,and merchandise...make sure to check out my other projects "Almost George" "Drop Dead Radar" and "Bound To Fail" ...if you like art check out www.jamesjosephcrabtree.com and view my fine art gallery Thanks to everyone who has truly been here for me...I love you for all of your support...AVOYO
