Odin's Court New CD Update

[OdinsCourt]

Hey folks, we're very disappointed to say that Gordon will no longer be joining us.

After the announcement was made, Gordon decided that several aspects of being in Odin’s Court were more than he could handle, and he told us he could no longer perform with us. We tried to hash things out with him, but he was unwilling to talk with us further. We're sorry for the disappointment this may cause people; we are quite frustrated with the situation ourselves.

Rest assured Odin's Court will press on as always, and the CD will be JUST AS GOOD without Gordon, just different. We'll have some guest vocalists on the CD to maintain the dynamic and interaction with the singing, and it is possible that Gordon may be up for a track as well.

Stay tuned for more!

This is an interesting development to say the least. After a couple spins of the album, I was a fan of your vocal style. But after hearing this clip I can hear where the band is going. I think that you guys have a lot of opportunity ahead with this as well, since you'll have three people capable of singing. Many bands out there can barely find one. The choral arrangement opportunities, the dueling voices, the change of pace with a different voice, all of that will be interesting to hear as you guys move on.

Best of luck

Thanks dude! Yes, things are definitely looking good and the numerous voices will make for some interesting arrangements. BTW, we currently have four that will be singing. Our bassist and keyboardist are the only one who don't sing (but can). We are all very much looking forward to what the future has in store!

As I posted in the PP forum, I consider Rick & Matt to be dear friends of mine. That being said, the multi-vox format is what will bring OC to the next level, and onward to bigger & better things, IMO. I know it must have been a tough decision, but you guys made the right choice. Time will tell, you'll see!

I can only wish my good friends in Odin's Court all the best! Gordon Tittsworth will take Odin's Court to levels we can only hope to dream of. It will rule!

Seasons greetings!

Hey, thanks so much for taking the time to post your thoughts. You rock!

And thanks for the compliments on my vocals - it's because of people who were fans of my vocals that I decided not to give them up entirely. And it will an extra element that will help us rock that much more with all the situations you just named - dueling leads, harmonies, change of pace, etc..

You are THE MAN!!!!! I appreciate your support. You're a good friend to us!

Yes, a tough decision, but I agree with you - one that will help the band out in the long run.

YOU RULE, Matt! Thanks for the support!

Hey Matt, this morning a thought hit me about your vocal melodies. Are you a big fan of Simon & Garfunkel? While its not an obvious similarity, there is something about the melodies which really reminds me of some of their phrasing.

Hi Rick and Matt et al! Woo hoo! I love Gordon's vox, and think he is going to take OC to a higher level - great news! This is surely a great coup for OC -- way to go! Can't wait for the first show with Gordon!

Cheerios!

Well ain't this a "tits worth" of news. I just got the albums and I dig the vocals; but anyone that can step down from that spot up front and pass the mic to someone else must know what's best for the band. I look forward to future material.
