This is a song of gratitude for friend and mentor, Mark Hutchins, who showed me incredible music, produced my demos in the early 90's, and helped launch my early career. I'm so grateful for his kindness and genius.
I wanted the song to be fun, like he was.
"The Replacements & Dinosaur Jr." is the first single from my album, "Lo", which is my first album of entirely original songs in nearly a decade.
In this lyric video by @calvinwestproductions are videos by @bbrisk Brett Briskin (thank you, Brett!) and family members of live performances featuring my longtime musicians Jay Bellerose (drums), Ross Gallagher (bass), Chris Bruce (electric guitar) and @richhinmanmusic (acoustic guitar.) This band is also on "Lo". They are stunning as musicians and as humans. I'm very proud of the music we made together.
Thank you for sharing.
Paula.
