- TOLER - TOWNSEND BAND RELEASE - February 27, 2008 The Toler/Townsend Band debut album Is an eight song effort that is getting great reaction all over. It is now up on CD Baby and available for downloads. It will soon be available at all the usual places like itunes, Yahoo Music, Napster and Rhapsody. We hope you'll check it out by either clicking the CD cover below or visit the MUSIC page on this site.
The Toler - Townsend Band was conceived in the mid nineties. Danny, Frankie and I had been working with Gregg Allman's solo band around that time when the Allman Brothers Band reformed. Danny, Frankie and I have been playing in various bands together in recent years and have been threatening to do this for some time. For those less familiar with the entities involved: Danny has performed and recorded with The Allman Brothers Band, Dickey Betts' Great Southern, and as was mentioned before, Gregg Allman And Friends. Frankie also played and performed with ABB, Dickey and Gregg but also did a stint with The Marshall Tucker Band. Anything you'd want to know about me (and probably some stuff you didn't), you'll find in the ABOUT section. Additional players on the TTB cuts were keyboardist and trumpet man, Mark Petty and on bass was the late great Bruce Weibel. This project was recorded by Bud Snyder at Telstar Studio in Sarasota, Florida and mastered by Alex Kazanegras at AK Studio, Los Angeles, California More soon ! |

September 24, 2007
I have to say " WHAT A FREAKIN' BLAST !!". We all started assembling at the studio about 10:30 AM yesterday morning (Sunday, Sept. 23rd) and setting up our equipment. The idea was to play a lot during the day, jam some and maybe record a thing or two. We actually got a couple of real nice tracks done in the middle of all the other fun. We took tons of pictures and Roger and another friend brought some pretty pro looking video cameras and got some footage that may emerge soon. Jerry's bass was taken out of it's case and propped up in a chair in a prominent place in the control room whereby it could best observe the proceedings. One of the bigger get offs was the recording of two new songs during the day. One was one of the last songs Ed and I had written together prior to the demise of the band called "Good As Bad Can Be". The other song was a really cool tune written by Roger called "Fear Of The Unknown". I think the stuff came out killer and all the friends and family members in attendance really got off on the recordings. It was great to see everyone's chops were up. Hopefully we can get some mixes soon and make those available. About mid afternoon we ordered a giant tub of bar-b-que from Hoggly Woggly's and had a feast. It's difficult to put into words what a fantastic feeling it was to have everyone there as an honorarium to Jerry, our departed friend. It was one of those days when no one wanted to leave for fear of missing out on something. Great stories were ongoing and a marvelous time was had by all.
