“My name’s on the back of many more records than on
the front,” says Austin-based producer, songwriter and guitarist, Stephen Doster. “This new record will
only be my fourth as an artist, and it’s the record I always hoped I would
make.” The new Doster album Arizona arrives November 4th via Atticus
Records. The album’s title track can
be heard
now via an exclusive premiere courtesy of Guitar
World. Doster’s musical story starts in 1982, when he was a young man on
top of the world, recording his debut album with James Honeyman-Scott of The
Pretenders producing it.
“During the sessions, Jimmy was called back to London to cut a new Pretenders single,” Doster
remembers. “He was coming right back to Texas as soon as he was done.” The rest of the story is a public and sad
event in music history. For Doster, it was very personal. “A friend entered my room about 48 hours
after Jimmy left,” Doster says. “Jimmy’s wife Peggy Sue
sent him over to tell me that Jimmy
had died because she didn’t want me to hear about it on the radio first. He was a great mentor to me and it was a
horrific loss for the music world.”
In a funk, Doster
put the recordings on hold and headed to Nashville with Nanci Griffith and Lyle
Lovett to play guitar on Griffith’s
Once
In A Very Blue Moon album. It was there that Doster decided to put what he had learned from Honeyman-Scott to use, embarking on a career as a record producer. Since that time, Doster has helmed over 70 albums by mostly Texas-based acts, while
continuing to make a living by writing songs for others and performing hundreds
of shows a year. His credits include a
who’s who of respected names including Willie
Nelson, Dr. John, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Cocker, Squeeze, Johnny Lang, Charlie Sexton, Ramblin’
Jack Elliott, Clarence “Gatemouth”
Brown, and Little Feat among
many others.
Stephen Doster will release his latest solo album
Arizona on November 4th via
Atticus Records. He will launch a UK tour in support of the
album on October 30th in Torquay, England with US dates to be announced soon. See here for details.
