JOHN NANNI, LIFE'S WINDOWS.
John Nanni's solo CD entitled LIFE'S WINDOWS is now available. LIFE'S WINDOWS has been a labor of love by Nanni and his talented co-producer, Henry Beckett of Transcendent Audio in Nashville.
Ten of the fifteen rhythm tracks on LIFE'S WINDOWS were recorded in sunny Pensacola Florida at Lucky K Recording Studio. The others were recorded at Henry Beckett's Transcendent Audio in Nashville. Overdubs were completed at Nanni's Three Creeks Studio in Franklin, TN.
The performers include some of Nashville's and Pensacola's finest musicians, along with John Nanni on lead vocals, guitars and percussion. Key musicians include: Bob Hatter (Keith Anderson Band) on guitars; Mike Wheeler (Wildwood) on bass; Henry Beckett on grand piano and keyboards; Peter Young (Loretta Lynn/Chely Wright) on drums and percussion; Lucky Kelson (Mainstreet) on B3. Also, the project features: Nashville Star's Jamey Garner on smooth harmonica (Hear Jamey on Buddy Jewell's Sweet Southern Comfort); special guest star, NYC-based Lance Doss (John Cale band) as cowriter and guitarist; John Foster (Steve Holy Band & Beach Boys) on guitars. Gary Talley (The Box Tops' original and current member) on guitar and vocals. A high-profile horn section is featured including Jimmy Bowland (Temptations) on Sax, Recording Artist, Michael Fair on Trumpet and Roy Agee (Steve Cropper) on Trombone. The lovely and amazing Jonell Mosser made a background vocal appearance on three of the sides.
