New Album Coming Out November 4th

Loudspeaker Here’s a long overdue announcement for you today. I’ve got a new album coming out in a couple of months! The details are as follows:

Album Title: “Lady Tygress’ Suite and Other Commissions”

Release Date: November 4th, 2022

Release Formats: Physical CD, Digital (w/bonus material), and Streaming

It’ll be a jacketed CD release this time – times are tough, and money is tight. CDs will be distributed via CD Baby to Amazon and all the other usual suspects. I might do another eBay auction of the first ten numbered/signed CDs, like I did with the first ten Calibrations and Derivations CDs.

Of course, it’ll be available for streaming on all the major outlets to which CD Baby distributes (Spotify, YouTube, etc.). I’ll also have it up on Bandcamp for Digital download, with some bonus material like liner notes, album art, and maybe something else.

Along with the new tracks, the album will include some previously released singles, including the soundtrack I wrote for Dan Douglas’s Duke Smoochem 3D demo. Now will be your chance to get this and more if you missed them previously.

This will be my fourth album, so what better date to release it on than the 4th of November. Look for it then!

“Geisterwolken” the Single is Out!

Geisterwolken Cover Art Geisterwolken, my new Hard Rock / Heavy Metal single, has dropped! It was released today, May 6th, 2022, on Bandcamp, Amazon, Spotify, and all major streaming platforms around the world, thanks to CD Baby‘s distribution service. You can reach it by way of my HearNow link service at https://leejackson.hearnow.com – bookmark that link to have all the major links on one page.

Geisterwolken (“Ghost Clouds”) is my biggest experiment at Hard Rock / Heavy Metal to date. It was inspired by a cloud formation I saw while riding home one day in 2021. You could practically see the ghosts streaming amongst the thunderstorm clouds in the distance. The genesis of this music immediately jumped into my head and stayed there until I got home, where I could get it into the computer.

Special thanks go out to Kittyhawk for the cover art, and to George “The Fat Man” Sanger for his help in fine-tuning the track.

“Duke Nukem Tank Tracks” Still Selling

Posted on 2021-03-22 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

Tank Tracks Album Cover It’s been almost a month since “Duke Nukem Tank Tracks” was released, and sales have been moderately okay. Granted, the only sales I see at the moment are the ones that come in via Bandcamp. CD Baby has not yet reported any of the sales from Amazon or Apple Music/iTunes, nor from any streaming sites like Spotify, Pandora, or Deezer. I have to wait until at least the end of the first quarter for those figures to start coming in – possibly until the second quarter. It’s frustrating as hell not to know what the sales figures are for your work!

In the meanwhile, here’s some incentive for those of you on Facebook to come by and join my Lee Jackson Audio Community Discussion Group. Once you join, you’ll see a post with a code for a 20% discount off of a copy of “Duke Nukem Tank Tracks” from Bandcamp. This version comes with high-quality digital cover art from renowned webcomic artist Kittyhawk and a seven-page liner note booklet! All of this for 20% off the regular low price of $10 for 15 tracks of new music! Just go to the link at the start of this paragraph, make sure you answer the join-up questions that are presented to you, and you’ll be golden. I look forward to seeing you in the group!

Second Single is Out, Plus Album Details!

Sniper Single Cover It’s February 12th, 2021, and as promised, the second single from my upcoming album is out! It’s called “Sniper,” and it is sort of a sequel to the classic track called “Stalker,” which was used in E1L1 (Hollywood Holocaust) of the world-famous first-person-shooter, “Duke Nukem 3D®.” It’s available for purchase at Bandcamp and Amazon, and is streaming on Spotify and other streaming services. Please check it out and grab a copy today!

Oh – and there’s that pesky Duke Nukem reference again. What’s that all about? Well, wait no longer, because I can now officially tell you that both “Underground Train” and “Sniper” are tracks from my upcoming album, “Duke Nukem Tank Tracks,” due out on February 26th! Yes, 15 new songs that are inspired by everything from the original “Duke Nukem 3D®” game up through “Duke Nukem: 20th Anniversary World Tour,” based on both Bobby Prince’s works and my own, to be published as a digital-only release. It’ll sell for $10.00 on Bandcamp, while pricing may vary on other services.

In addition, I’m putting together something you’ll be able to buy if you own a copy of the PC version of the “Duke Nukem: 20th Anniversary World Tour”: the “DUKE NUKEM TANK TRACKS” OGG Pack which will let you insert the songs into your copy of the game and play with the songs in the game levels! They feature high-quality audio with custom loops and a pre-configured USER.CON file that you can use to get you up and running instantly. The OGG Pack will sell for $5, and will only work if you have a copy of the PC version of the 20th Anniversary World Tour.

Things are getting exciting around here! I can’t wait until “Duke Nukem Tank Tracks” comes out. But, until then, please grab a copy of “Sniper” and enjoy it. Also, check out the Music Video that Adam Chebot-Goldman cooked up for me for “Underground Train” the other day! It’s a blast!
