No longer releasing ‘On The Spot,’ but WILL release…

What was going to be album 6 starts off with a single release of “Gush” on 4/3.

OK, cool, then what?

“I recorded what would have been a new album: 10 songs and may even keep going to 13! However, I’m not going to release it,” Alyssa said about what would have been her 6th album in 8 years, which she had planned on titling ‘On The Spot.‘  “The public is all about instant gratification, downloads and individual tracks, not so much records anymore.  So what I’m going to do instead, is release 1-2 songs at a time.  A bunch of singles spread out throughout the rest of the year and see which ones resonate with listeners the most.  Once it becomes obvious which songs are getting the most love, then I’ll consider making an album, kind of like an Alyssa Jacey Compilation CD of personal and fan favorites. What I’ll probably do, is combine the new faves with past faves, and take THAT with me to sell on tour and at shows, as the untitled for now, album 6.”

Some of the players on her record were Eastwood Studio’s engineer and owner, Eric Fritsch (electric guitar), Jason Fitz (fiddle player from The Band Perry), Nick Buda and Tim Marks (Taylor Swift’s drummer and bassist), Michael Webb (keys for LeAnn Rimes, John Fogerty, Coco), Steve Bowman (drummer for Counting Crows), James Haggerty (Autumn Defense’s bass player), Derek Wells (electric guitar for Josh Turner) and of course the always magnificent Jim Reilley (of the New Dylans) who co-produced the record with Alyssa!

AJ wrote all the music, melodies and lyrics to ‘On The Spot,’ debuts her drumming, Mellotron and Micro Korg skills on 2 tracks, played acoustic guitar on each song.  Curious to know where the title “On The Spot” came from? Just ask AJ at the next show or join the Blue Crew Newsletter to find out!

Has the public heard any of this new material yet?

“Gush” is already playing on the radio, “Down,” “More Than Half” and a few others are on Youtube.com/AlyssaJacey!

Will these songs be anything like the 10 from “Here’s to Change?”

Yes and no.  Both groupings of songs are comprised of a mixture of many genres, acoustic and full band, however for On The Spot, we recorded more full band, upbeat tracks than Here’s To Change.  Again, though, we’re only done with 10 out of 13.  The last 3 will be somewhat acoustic.

Both could be considered “multi-genred,” but On The Spot leans heavy on the pop/country side with contemporary singer/songwriter influences.  Here’s To Change is mainly pop, but it’s touches on many genres. It’s been reviewed as a “pop/country” album, which I disagree with. I mean just because ‘Dear Life’ has a banjo and mandolin in it doesn’t make the album country.  Both sneak in tidbits of light rock, blues and jazz.  The best way to describe On The Spot:  Think if Sara Bareilles, Shakira, Katy Perry, Alanis Morrisette, Dido, Jewel, Alison Krauss, Carrie Underwood, Brandi Carlile and Sarah McLachlan had a love child.  That’s the direction we went in.  “It’s rootsy, groovy and authentic, with each individual song telling it’s own story,” says co-producer Jim Reilley.  “This record doesn’t have just one sound and definitely not just one genre.  You’ll be able to feel the music with more vocal and less production.”
