Blankenship Refused to go quietly into the Music Graveyard..I bought my own studio gear,and started recording again,this time I recorded all the music I had written over the years.I started searching for my lost band members to reunite.I had no luck,and found out my old bass player Windsor Shanklin passed away in 1997.It was begining to look like I would have to do this alone.I recorded the first album L* E* in it's entirety alone and had trouble with the vocals.This was in 2009 The same thing with the second album,until I finally reunited with my drummer Mikol Kramer.We set a date for recording to finsih up the two albums.In the midst of doing these albums I applied for a Trademark for the band logo. Little did I know I would be put on a time limit to complete the two albums,and have to show the U.S.Trademark office I was going to do buisness and sell the music in commerce.So Mikol and I finally got together on June 11th 2010.We re-recorded the drums on Rockin' Cocaine Blues,and Liquid Earth,and decided it would be too hard to redo all the drum tracks,and meet our deadline. So we redid the vocals,and finished the first album before he had to leave. The next recording date I would be going to him,so we could finish on time. That was Aug 3rd-13th 2010,we finished the second album.The first album titled L* E* was released on sept.25th 2010.The second album was released Oct 21st 2010,and is now available for sale on CD Baby,and downloads on Digstation,i-tunes,and a variety of other download sites. Album number 3 is comming up next.
