Lareé Gibson / Wakin' Up To My Dreams

Who is Lareé Gibson? I had no idea honestly when I got the e-mail from David Diggs in 1999. The Only thing I believed was that this unknown artist might be worth listening because this artist was fully produced by David Diggs. A week later, I received her CD from David and soon the CD was on my CD player. When I listened to the first few tones of the first track, I felt this must be a good album and after listening to the all tracks, I believed I should promote her by reviewing this album on my then web “Adult Contemporary Music In Japan”. Therefore I did.

Here is her bio I got in 1999;
"LA Southern California native, Lareé Gibson has continuously broadened her exposure as a singer/songwriter throughout her years in the industry. Influenced by Elton John, Carole King and Gerry Rafferty, the stage was set for her to develop the kind of indescribable musicality, integrity and confidence so resonant throughout each aspect of her artistry. Lareé has traveled extensively across the Western United States with numerous talented musicians. Her recent CD release "Wakin' Up To My Dreams" is produced by Top Ten artist David Diggs and features such acclaimed artists as Scott Henderson (TribalTech), Brandon Fields (George Benson, Dave Weckyl, etc.), Joseph Heredia (Mendoza, Heredia, & Neto - release in Japan) and Ken Wild (Seawind). The album masterfully intertwines Rhythm & Blues, Pop, Rock and a touch of Jazz delivering an innovative West Coast sound."
