Encyclopedia
Catch the Brass Ring is the debut album from Los Angeles, California
based singer-songwriter Ferraby Lionheart
. It was released on September 4, 2007 by Nettwerk Records. The album was recorded at Red Rockets Glare and Hotpie Studios in Los Angeles.
On the recording of the album, Ferraby says this on his website: "The record took a while, due to a lot of starting and stopping, working around downtime, and writing the album as I went. I wanted to capture the intimacy and simplicity of the self-titled EP, but at the same time make a more adventurous record. Plus some of the songs were really calling for an elaborate treatment. This was sometimes difficult to balance, but I think it helped create a nice diversity about the album. Many wonderful folks I've met in LA came out to play horns and strings and drums throughout the process."
A music video was produced for the song "Small Planet." link
