Description
Fans and Friends of The Choir: Pants on Fire, sub-titled A Tribute to The Choir Volume 1, is a multi-artist tribute album by fans and friends of the American alternative rock band The Choir, independently released in October 2017. Mixed by Deni Gauthier. Produced by B. Frazier. Cover artwork by Chris Taylor.
A second installment was released later the same year.
If I wrote down the names of five bands that have made up the proverbial soundtrack to my life, The Choir would certainly be one of them. I began listening to them when I was 17, and 30 years later, their music (and now their friendship) continues to add a real richness to my life. Their loyal fans, the world over, would echo similar sentiments. It is only fitting that their friends and fans would create a project to say “thank you” for the decades of truly incredible music. This two volume project, consisting of tunes from the band’s indie catalog, from “pros” and “regular Joes,” is our way of doing just that. This album is an international effort and brings in a diverse collection of musical styles.
Derri Daugherty, Steve Hindalong, Tim Chandler, Dan Michaels (and Robin Spurs, Mike Sauerbrey and Marc Byrd), thank you. Thank you for the albums that serve as markers for periods of our lives. Thank you for the melodies that are ever with us. Thank you for lyrics that lift us up, cause us to consider and even make us laugh and shed a tear. Thank you for the musical soundscapes that stir us, settle us and help us get lost in the moment. Thank you for laying out your own journeys in song and inviting us to ride along.
While these Tribute albums give us, as fans, a chance to celebrate The Choir’s musical past, The Choir is still creating outstanding NEW music. Their new album, ‘Bloodshot‘, is in production this very moment. – B. Frazier
