Preview of the Upcoming Reissue of the Artichoke's I Live By the Freeway Album Now Available On-line.

Excerpts of songs from the Artichoke's "I Live by the Freeway" Album

The album contains all of the songs that the Artichokes recorded outside of their personal studio. All but two songs were produced by 064 and recorded by Grammy winning sound engineer Sam Lehnmer (John Lee Hooker's The Healer). Two songs from a 1980 recording session will be added to the remastered and expanded version of the Artichoke's original release of I Live by the Freeway from 1983.

The Artichokes recordings feature guitarist/composer 064 Freeman, vocalist Wendy Bauer, bassist Bruce Fraser, keyboardist Brian Douglas and drummers Mark Pilkanis and Kevin T. Smith. Four songs feature the late great saxophonist Steve Mackay, best known for his work with the Stooges, Commander Cody and the Violent Femmes. The full album is planned for a release later this spring. Producer 064 Freeman reports that the archive tapes have been located, baked and transferred to high resolution digital in preparation for a CD and on-line release. The preview recordings made available on-line today have received only a preliminary remastering. The final mastering has not not been completed yet.
