Tempest

Members: Lief Sorbye, Damien Gonzalez, Adolfo Lazo, James Crocker & Michael Mullen

LIVE FOR TODAY is our Celtodelic cover of the classic 1967 Grass Roots hit, is the first “hit” single we have ever recorded. We have never thought over our 22 year history of making a single ourselves; it was the furthest thing from our minds. It took having someone else suggest it and pick the song to do, and I think that’s where Peter Morticelli stepped up and scored on this one. I hadn’t that much of a relationship with the song as I don’t think it was that big in Norway. I was familiar with it when I played it and Peter suggested it as a candidate for a Tempest single. It came together really organically, I added a bit of Celtic riff to give it an instrumental hook. We were already working on the album and “Let’s Live For Today” fit into the thread of “Another Dawn” really well. The album has a positive vibe to it, and the message I take out of “Let’s Live For Today” is to enjoy life, and I believe the purpose of life is to be happy. It is a great opening track and sets the scene for the other songs on the album.

All of the songs deserve to be here, I am very proud of what the band has done on this album. Our producer, Robert Berry, did a heckuva a job pushing us a lot further than he has in the past. I think he, and the band were really ready and excited to do another Tempest album. We have been working with Robert since “Turn Of The Wheel” in 1995, and have gotten to know how to work well together. It was truly was recording a moment in time, one intense 3-4 period moment in time. We are very happy about the album and hope it opens some new doors.

1. Let's Live For Today
(from the upcoming album: "Another Dawn")

Tempest’s rousing rendition of “Let’s Live For Today” couldn’t have come at a better time. Amid global and domestic concerns, “Let’s Live For Today” is extraordinary music for extraordinary times. Vocalist Lief Sorbye’s evocative, slightly accented (he’s from Norway) delivery recalls perfectly all the mixed emotions and complexities of the original while capturing the uncertainty and joys of our modern and turbulent world.

2. Beaumont Rag
(Not available on any album)

This Traditional Texas Swing tune was named after the town of Beaumont, Texas. “Beaumont Rag” was first recorded by Cleburne, Texas, fiddler Samuel Morgan Peacock in 1929, under the name Smith’s Garage Fiddle Band.

The tune was popularized by Texas swing fiddler Bob Wills, as well as Doc Watson, who introduced the tune to flatpickers repertoire.
