Richard Barone Collaborates with Tony Visconti On His Latest, “Glow”
sonicscoop.com
“Walking through Manhattan, I started hearing the arpeggio chords of ‘Glow’ in my head. Then some words and a melody became attached, set to the rhythm of my walking. When I got to the studio, I couldn’t wait to show Steve the guitar, plug it in and demonstrate the possibilities. I started playing ‘Glow’ and asked if we could record it. It was amazing how quickly it came together.”
