Album Notes

Born on cinco de mayo 1957, a true Taurus in regards to being bullish about following the dream. Crawford was introduced to Neil Young in his 24th year and has found his way to the present day having toured with Steve Winwood , Dwight Yoakam, Steve Forbert, Pegi Young, and now again back on the road for yet another tour of Europe. Life doesn't get any better.

HOWEVER.... recently this "dream" has introduced new characters to the plot. Enter.... EVEREST and Bo Koster (MY MORNING JACKET) in the Spring of 2009. Just prior to yet another swing through Canada, Anthony went to Los Angeles to the New Monkey Studio and together with his new soul brothers they recorded what was to become FIVE IS RED. The name itself was due to consumption of the great vibe as the analog tape rolled and the vocals seeped into the same mic used on the great recordings of the fifties and sixties. The sound of this record is stellar as are the performances. This is a must have if you are interested in more than just a hit. From the first note to the last it is a journey.

More is on the horizon for Crawford as the discovery of video is now a major outlet of creativity. Enter.... "ON THE ROAD WITH A ROCK STAR" (a week by week continuing rockucomedy about the behind the scenes life of one of the worlds most gifted rock legends). Each episode can be seen at www.anthonycrawford.com. enter....SUGARCANE JANE... go to sugarcanejane.com to see rare footage of a live performance at the Mobile Saenger Theater.
