Worlds Apart by Jerry Vanek

“Worlds Apart”, was recorded in Antioch, Tennessee, at my friend Chris Sanders’ studio.

As with my previous album, we had great fun bringing in Sam Hunter on electric guitar, Luke Easterling on bass, Austin Valentine on drums, and Michael Sharp on keyboards to cut these tracks. Recording sessions with these four gentlemen are always exciting, creative, and productive.

Our engineer, Chris Sanders, spent many long hours fine-tuning the performances and mixes for each of these songs, and he deserves a great deal of the credit for the superb quality of these recordings. Let me also take this opportunity to thank Brian Lipski at the Sound Lab for mastering not only this album, but the previous release, “Back to Basics”.

2019 marks the 60th anniversary of the plane crash that took the life of rock pioneer Buddy Holly. In the process of choosing songs for this album, I felt compelled to include a song I wrote many years ago, in his honor.

This one’s for you, J.I.
