Michael Omartian: "Adam Again"


Released in 1976,
this is Michael Omartian's second (2nd) solo album.

It is thematic; essentially a mini rock opera.

As always, the music and the production quality
are excellent.  The band credits read like a Who's Who
of '70s session stars:
Ernie Watts
Paul Hubinon
Dean Parks
Lee Ritenour
Larry Carlton
Ed Greene
Victor Feldman
Richard Bennett
Wilton Felder
David Hungate
Scott Edwards

Here is a taste:

Michael Omartian: "White Horse"


Released in 1974,
this was Michael Omartian's first solo LP.
By that time,
he had already begun to build an amazing
career as a session artist,
and this album marks the beginning of 
what became a super-stellar career
as a producer.

Honestly,
this album changed my life.
Everything about it was mind-blowing
(at least to me, at the time).

From this point forward,
I would always be on the lookout
for Michael Omartian's name
in any album credits.
My favorite
was when I found his name among
the dozens of names listed
on the credits for the soundtrack,
"Jonathan Livingston Seagull";
but I have found his name
on many, many, many album credits.
