David Diggs / Westcoastal

First of all, I would notice of you that this CD is the 1980's unreleased demo recordings collection album and therefore some tracks reveal the limitations of the original recordings master source tape in terms of the sound quality. However, all the tunes on this CD are really great and worth listening. I believe you would be surprised to see the below-mentioned musicians credit featuring this collection such as Bob Carlisle and Rick Riso. David Diggs is well-known as the keyboard player / composer / producer for his own instrumental solo albums "Streetshadows" (1985) etc. otherwise Richie Furay (ex Poco) solo albums. But it is not so well-known fact that he also produced many CCM albums in mid 80's such as Bob Bailey's "I'm Walkin'" (1983), Sweet Comfort Band "Hearts Of Fire" (1981). And under this relationship with CCM music scenes in early and mid 80's, the materials on this collection CD were recorded and kept unreleased by today. I believe we should express our gratitude to David and COOL SOUND to give us the opportunity to listen such a excellent Westcoast tunes today. Now, enjoy the good music without any unnecessary critics!
