            <title>&amp;quot;RHYTHM TRAIN&amp;quot; Is At the Presses!</title>
            <link>http://lesliebixler.com/news.html#32</link>
            <description><![CDATA[So excited to report that the new CD is done and being produced right now.  I'm very proud of this new one::<br /><br />Chad Smith, (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chickenfoot) my partner in crime, has so many facets, along with his virtuoso drumming, he's a great singer, has a really funny comedic animated style and great production ideas!  He had so much to do with this process.  You can really get to know him on this album, as a kid, a father, and a monster talent<br />   Dick Van Dyke is also pretty darn amazing, did some hllarious improvs, and sh ows many sides as a rapper, and a pirate, not to mention a pirate doing ballet!<br /><br />We wanted this to be a musical experience for the whole family..something that would capture the imaginations and hearts of children and adults alike.<br /><br />Can't wait for you to hear it..]]></description>

            <title>What's up with &amp;quot;PORCUPINE&amp;quot;?</title>
            <link>http://lesliebixler.com/news.html#30</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This blurb was written for cd baby:<br /><br />Leslie Bixler first released a nationwide album entitled &#8220;Make It Right&#8221; on SinDrome Records under her maiden name&#8220;Leslie Letven&#8221;.   Popular in the jazz/pop market, her album reached #12 on the radio charts and continues to get airplay to this day.  She follows this up with a more rock-based singer/songwriter album called &#8220;Porcupine&#8221; which takes an introspective and sometimes bluesy turn and embraces themes from adoption to infidelity, from the early Joni Mitchell-esque guitar-centered &#8220;Porcupine&#8221; and &#8220;Just Business&#8221;, to the soulful feel of &#8220;Going Through the Motions&#8221; to the classic beauty of &#8220;Home Again&#8221; and &#8220;Toasting the Moon&#8221;.  &#8220;Porcupine&#8221; is an intensely personal album with lots of musical sophistication and variety, showing new dimensions of Bixler&#8217;s personality and talent as singer and songwriter.  <br />     Produced by herself and husband Bill Bixler, &#8220;Porcupine&#8221; features the best in musicianship: delightful guitar work by Daris Atkins and Phil Wimer, keyboards by Wayne Jones, bass by David Enos, and drums by Tony Morales, Steve Samuel, and Hud Bixler.  Luscious background vocals are provided by Debi Ruud and Phil Wimer.  Pedal steel guitar on &#8220;Home Again&#8221; and &#8220;Toasting the Moon&#8221; is by Jerry Barnett.  <br />     &#8220;Porcupine&#8221; is a timeless gem that speaks of themes from the heart and soars musically.  Bixlers musical roots come together to create a truly unique landscape that you will want to visit time and time again.]]></description>

            <title>Why is the cd with Chad taking so long you ask?</title>
            <link>http://lesliebixler.com/news.html#29</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Yes, there is another amazing kids' cd on its way but like anything worthwhile, good things take time.  This CD train/ride is guaranteed to make you giggle, smile, and guffaw out loud when you hear Chad acting like a little rascal and notice his very amazing drumming all the way through, which is beyond the level of any drumming you've heard before! Seriously!  So keep waiting.  It will be worth it!]]></description>

            <title>Music for you grownups!</title>
            <link>http://lesliebixler.com/news.html#28</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This section is going to be devoted to my grownup music (I'm avoiding the word "adult" as it has connotations..)<br />I have a first CD released on a label<br />called "Make It Right" under my name LESLIE LETVEN and am currently getting the rights to re-release it. It still gets played on the radio after 16 years..<br /> <br />I also have a self-published singer/songwriter album called "Porcupine" which you can purchase through CD baby by going to links on this site or just cd baby.  <br /><br />I'm working on adding all my previous albums to this section of my site and there will be lots of never heard before "grownup" material!  (Eventually a site devoted specifically for that will have to be built)  but for now I am responding to all the fan mail that is finding me miraculously through places like Face Book and this website and myspace, etcetera!  Thanks for finding me and asking for more music.  I've got it and plan to deliver it to you ASAP!<br /><br />xleslie]]></description>
