The Art Of Tea
from The And of One · host Michael Franks
In this episode, Veronica and I discuss how I eventually signed with Warner Bros. Records and began my long (24 year) career with the label. The Art of Tea was the first record I made for them and our conversation includes a lot of the project’s backstory. It was the first time I worked with the rhythm section that consisted mostly of the Crusaders with the addition of drummer John Guerin. And this combination of players would become the usual suspects for a few later records too. Hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
