What does every aspiring Queen of Rock need to have in her life? A genius guitar player like Tim Pierce!! For those of you who don’t know who Tim is, he’s one of the all-time great rock guitarists...whose record hasn’t he played on? The Goo Goo Dolls, Weezer, Shakira, Jewel...and just about everybody else has required the soulful tones of Mr. Pierce to make their record sweet. Tim and I have developed a writing relationship for several years now, so on a spring morning, one of my favorite things to do in the world is throw on a pair of jeans, some high heel boots, a t shirt, grab my acoustic guitar, my dictaphone and some fresh tapes, jump in the car, grab a caffe latte and head for Tim’s. When i arrive at Tim’s house, I descend to the basement where Tim has his beautifully organized studio. I always know I’m in for a treat. Tim is truly a magician on the guitar! Like a brilliant fine artist, any sketch I take him he will turn into a full canvas in about an hour and a half. Usually, it starts with me sitting and singing to my acoustic guitar. We describe the scene I’m trying to create, the vibe, maybe any influences, then Tim sets up a click and off we go! The first time I heard Tim Pierce play on my first record, it was love! I thought "now THAT is a guitarist I want to write with!" Tim is incredibly flexible, whether I take him a ballad or a hard rock song like Lenny Kravitz, he’s gonna give me what I want and what I need! So this has been a beautiful part of my life over the last couple of years...quiet mornings in a basement, etching out our new brand of rock. Get ready....it’s all coming to you soon!!!
