DOOR IN THE WATER A Micro-Documentary by Johnny J. Blair "Singer at Large"

This is the recording that put me on the map; my first full-length album—then described as “a New Wave concept album.” https://johnnyjblairsingeratlarge.bandcamp.com/album/door-in-the-water-25th-anniversary-expanded-edition Topically, it was inspired by a San Francisco fellowship of friends. The LP was loosely formatted after “concept albums” like PET SOUNDS (Beach Boys), LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY (Genesis), and the PRESERVATION ACT series by The Kinks. It was started in San Francisco and finished in the hilly, hipster city of Knoxville TN at a studio that The Jacksons used for a rehearsal space (they let me use their Yamaha DX7 keyboards). The LP was released in 1985, but the record label I was signed to did near-to-nothing to promote it nor did they provide tour support. However, who knew this record would reach people across the oceans and “open doors” I couldn’t foresee? For that I am grateful. The album was remastered by Scott Francis w/bonus material on the download version + live takes of my band October w/Ron Davis, Chris Haggerty, Bridget Purifoy, Anna Valdez, and Victor Valverde. I recently found vinyl copies and am signing them as people buy them. Please enjoy music that has withstood the tides of time:
