Album Notes

If Jon Eaton hadn't played his music too loud, lead singer Doug Hough and lead guitarist Jon Eaton would still be selling computers at Dell and trying to pull in their next commission check. But, after Doug heard Jon's music blaring, and discovered that they had similar musical interests and a shared dream of stardom, Blue Morning was formed in 2002.

The band started out as a duo with just Hough and Eaton sharing the spotlight at local coffee shops around Nashville. But after recording their 10-song demo Light of Day, the duo saw a different future ahead. Equipped with a full band, Light of Day generated such a strong buzz around the local circuit that it left venues and fans asking, "why aren't these guys signed?"

In October 2003, Blue Morning answered their fans' requests for a new record, and headed back into the studio to record their new album, Any Day Now, produced and engineered by Greg Strizek at Eckert Labs Nashville. Written and co-written by Doug Hough, Jon Eaton, and local Nashville staff writers, Any Day Now has found its niche in today's alternative radio scene.

"Broadcast," Track #3 of Any Day Now, stands as the band's signature track and mission statement, with lyrics that say "Broadcast for everyone to know/Send it out on the radio!" They want their music heard! It's hard to miss the similarity to REM's Michael Stipe on this song.

Other tracks, such as "I Want" and "Run" illustrate a lyric driven rock sound similar to popular artists/bands, such as Matchbox 20 and Angie Aparo. While songs, such as "Thorn", show the band's somber side, resembling Staind.

In today's music, when the lyrics usually matter less than the song's production, Blue Morning gives out an original sound, full of creative "hook driven" melodies and master rock arrangements that sound just as good stripped down to just guitar and vocal as they do fully produced.

Each song illustrates songwriting craftsmanship at its finest with influences ranging from Garth Brooks to Train. With Any Day Now being Blue Morning's first full-length studio album, consider this just the beginning for this group, and don't expect to hear Doug Hough and Jon Eaton say "Thank you for calling Dell" anymore! Just expect to hear them coming to your town soon!
