Rowdy Chick Productions is proud to announce, âSongs for Saleâ, the first solo release by Judy Tagt that has been a long time in coming! So, we are pleased to tell you a little bit about this project and the people who have worked on it.

First, about Judy Tagt, her lyrics and story telling are reflections of her own life experiences and have been described as âhonest and to the pointâ. Her songs are timeless and could have been written in the 70âs, as well as in this new millennium, enjoyed by all age groups. âI believe that music is the true expression of the soul and such a necessary art form to ease, inspire and comfort people in day to day life. Without music you love and want to sing along to, life would definitely have less joyâ.

Walter McKinney, a truly gifted musician of Rose Royce , is solo guitarist and rhythm guitar player. Judy is proud to have him play on this project. She practically stole him from the band when she met him at a rehearsal studio. He slapped George Benson, BB King and Steve Ray Vaughn sounds on this CD and Judy calls him âThe One Take Wonderâ.

Sir Harry Bowens, not only arranged four of Judyâs songs, he also co-produced backup vocals, sang backing tracks, and laid keys on many of the songs. Harry, of Was Not Was infamy, has toured the world over and began his music career back in the Motown scene of Detroit. Judy is honored and awe struck that this artist gave his time and energy to the project.

David Wollenberger arranged two of Judyâs songs, but more importantly, allowed her to record two of his songs. He also played keyboard soloâs in his pieces, but Judy was most impressed with his producing horn charts for not only his songs, but for two others as well, just hours before they were scheduled to be recorded in studio! Judy has been a long time fan of Davidâs work and was thrilled to be able to produce her two favorites he wrote. David studied at Julliard and Eastman School of Music and has written a multitude of songs, including a musical play.



Danny Clay Williams played all the bass parts of this production, and he was the engineer from start to finish, recording all tracks in analog (a lost art form). He also did an amazing job mixing this CD. How do you truly thank such a talent for the long hard hours he put into this project. His list of credits is too long to list in this space, but as Judy puts it, âDanny has definitely been around the block, engineering for the best! I am honored that a pro of Dannyâs caliber saw me through the production of this CDâ.

Wayno Mills played all the percussion grooves including two songs that he carried on his own with no drum tracks. Thatâs how good he is. Wayno is also a studio cat and noted tour player with an impressive list of credits too long to mention. Judy is once again humbled and honored that such a great musician and friend took the time out to lay down some serious percussion. I also dug the fact that he let me play one of his instruments in a very special song he wrote. Thank you, Wayno.

Lee Thornberg, Nick Lange and Doug Nurwine, the horn section, was great fun to work with after realizing I had worked on stage with them before. I especially want to thank Lee, who saved my studio session quite selflessly by giving me that incredible solo on my jazz tune. I will always remember you for that and hope I can repay your generosity.

Sir Harry Bowens, Carol Rogers, Betina Luboff, Robert McDonald, Myra McKay, Tammi Diddley, the back up vocalists, how do I thank the people who did what you did? And you did it so well! Call me prejudice, but I think you made my first solo project the best. Tina, thank you for saving me your song to record, and Tammi, it was too cute when you told me I was the first artist to pay you for singing, not drumming, although you do both so well. Our recording sessions meant THE MOST to me. THANK YOU ALL.
