“Lady Tygress’ Suite and Other Commissions” Album Released!

Posted on 2022-11-04 Written by D. Lee Jackson 1 Comment

Lady Tygress' Suite and Other Commissions cover artIt’s out! My fourth album, “Lady Tygress’ Suite and Other Commissions,” has been released today. You’ll be able to find it in physical CD, downloadable digital, and streaming formats on all the usual outlets, which are linkable from my HearNow page.

For quick reference, here are some of the more popular links to sites where you’ll be able to find the album at this time. Not all of them may be up right off the bat, but they will be eventually. Here they are:

  • Amazon CD
  • Apple Music / iTunes
  • Bandcamp
  • Deezer
  • Soundcloud
  • Spotify
  • YouTube

The album is available as both a physical CD and as a digital download on Amazon. It’s also available as a digital download on Bandcamp, but with several bonus items, such as liner notes, album art (by Kittyhawk!), and art that was released with several of the singles that are included on the album.

I may not be able to update this post with more details immediately, since I’ll be heading to the hospital at noon Central time for an operation to fix Carpal Tunnel and Cubital Tunnel Syndrome in my left hand and elbow. This will put my left hand out of commission for a couple of weeks (I think), so typing will be difficult at best. I’d really appreciate it if you’d show your support for me by buying a copy of my album! 🙂 

Thank you for your support. Please check out my new album today, especially on Bandcamp, since as of midnight Pacific time, it’ll be Bandcamp Friday!

New Album Coming Out November 4th

Posted on 2022-09-11 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

LoudspeakerHere’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!

Posted on 2022-05-06 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

Geisterwolken Cover ArtGeisterwolken, 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.

Commissions, Hospitalizations, and a New Single Upcoming

Posted on 2022-04-23 Written by D. Lee Jackson Leave a Comment

Geisterwolken Head SoloThis has been a month of mixed news so far. As the post title would indicate, I’ve completed a couple of commissions, been in the hospital a couple of times, and I’ve got a new single due to be released soon. First things first, though, we’ll cover the completed commissions.

To be precise, I’ve completed two commissions since my last blog update. The first was for Mr. Corey Burton of Australia, who commissioned a piece that I’ve named DeadBeard Fantasia. The other was commissioned by Mr. Dan Douglas in the U.K., who is working on the “Duke Smoochem” mod project. His work is titled Double Decker Chase, and can be heard right now on Mr. Douglas’s YouTube work-in-progress post. Both pieces will eventually appear on my Commissions page in full, hopefully sometime in May. I want to heartily thank Mr. Burton and Mr. Douglas both for commissioning me to write their songs!

Onto the health matters. I’ve spent more than my fair share of time in the hospital this month. On April 15th, I was admitted to a local hospital for extreme swelling in my legs, as well as for severe pain in my right arm related to my neck surgery (radiculopathy). I was given intravenous diuretics, and over the course of the next few days wound up losing 17 pounds of water weight from my legs. That’s over two gallons of water! I was also given strong painkillers for my arm, which is still bugging me after my release from the hospital.

A few days later, I underwent outpatient surgery to remove a screw from a toe on my left foot. It had been implanted to correct a “hammertoe” condition in my big toe last year, and was in the process of trying to work its way out through the tip of my toe. The doctor removed it without problems, but my arm began acting up on me again in the recovery room. Time for more painkillers. Sigh. I’m told that physical therapy will help my arm, so I’m going to start it as soon as I can.

My final note concerns a new single I’ve got coming out on Friday, May 6th. It’s called Geisterwolken, which translates to “Ghost Clouds,” and it’ll be released on Bandcamp, Amazon, Spotify, and all other major streaming platforms. I’ll announce it here when it’s out. In the meantime, allow me to leave you with a preview of the cover art for the song. I hope you will enjoy it!
