Description
Song And Dance Man: A Tribute To Warrant And Jani Lane is a tribute to the Warrant and Jani Lane era. To make the project a little more interesting (and so that we didn’t just get exact replicas of Warrant songs) the label posted ads in Country groups, acapella groups, Rap Groups, Bluegrass groups, etc. To their surprise the label hit in the Bluegrass Group and they hit BIG. Long story short, John Feist from the Hunter Skeens And The Forerunners Bluegrass band contacted the label and stated; I am an old friend of Jani’s and played with him back around their High School days and after – and not only that, but John’s current band includes Jani’s brother Eric Oswald – and would we be interested in doing something with them? Hell Yes! Around the same time the label were also talking with Jani’s daughter, Maddi Lane, who is an artist in her own right, and she elatedly not only contributed 3 of her fathers tunes to the project, but wanted to be involved from front to back. Maddi was one of six judges in the overwhelming task of whittling the artists down to 16 from over 50 submissions amongst other areas including artwork, sequencing, design, and naming the album. Eric Oswald (Jani’s brother) is the one who recorded the intro on the song Uncle Tom’s Cabin from the Cherry Pie album by Warrant…And he did it again for this project. The guitar case on this album cover is Janis actual Warrant guitar case (the label just added the Jani Lane).
