CHRIS CAFFERY Posts Studio Snippet Of "Over And Over" Re-Recording For New Album – "Not The Easiest Mix But It's A Lot Of Fun"

Guitarist/vocalist Chris Caffery (Savatage, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) is currently working on a new solo album, due for release later this year. He has checked in with another studio update:

“This song called ‘Over And Over’ I had previously released. However, I had originally done everything on the track and it was far from perfect with my drums. Everything has been re-recorded with the exception of some leads and a few background vocal tracks. All of the old bass and rhythm guitars were re-recorded to lock with Brian’s drums.

So awesome having Mr Tichy in this track! I also had my good friend Lonnie Park add some keys and additional back up vocals. It’s really massive now. I counted the use of 85 of my possible 96 tracks. The stereo tracks count as two but I’ve used 85 on this version! Not the easiest mix but it’s a lot of fun. Song is almost eight minutes long so it takes forever to do just about any pass.

I am over half way finished with the mixing. I see a light at the end of the tunnel. Almost time for some time off! My friends and family have filed a missing persons report! I hope you enjoy this little snippet. 

Peace and please share if you like! This record is going to be a really fun listen when it’s finished! So excited…”

The tentative tracklisting for Caffery’s new album, Your Heaven Is Real, is as listed:

“Your Heaven Is Real”
“Just Fine”
“Sick And Tired”
“I Never Knew”
“Too Soon To Be Too Late”
“Arm And A Leg”
“Death By Design”
“Hot Wheelz” (instrumental)
“Why”
“Damned If You Do, Dead If You Don’t”
“My Light”
“2-26-15” (instrumental)
“Over And Over”
“Come Home”

Caffery recently commented on Savatage’s upcoming reunion show at the Wacken Open Air:

“Savatage will close the festival that night following TSO’s first ever European festival appearance. I have been waiting for them to announce this for weeks. It was hard to keep it a secret! Yes, legion, our patience has finally paid off…”
