Terry White-"Out of Reach" (video by Department of Production (Kevin and Carolyn James))
"Out of Reach" is the first single and video from Terry's album 'You Won't Have a Name'.
'You Won't Have a Name' is a collection of songs written over the last four years. It began in 2021 when White, Paul Bivans (drums), Andon Davis (guitar), Michael Krayniak (bass) and Chris Neville (organ) met at Joyride Studios, owned by engineer Blaise Barton (who sadly passed away on June 12, 2025), in Chicago.
The songs that comprise 'You Won't Have a Name' were recorded one at a time, with as few overdubs as possible, to maintain a "live in-studio" sound. Over the course of many sessions, White enlisted his musician friends, including Brian Leach (who also engineered and mixed tracks on the album), Gerald Dowd, Patrick Brennan, Rob Pierce, John Pirruccello, and Phil Bayer, to lend their voices and assorted instruments to flesh out the desired sounds and textures. He further enlisted Pie Eyed Pete Cimbalo (bass), Sheila Cimbalo (vocals) and Tom Kneesel (pedal steel) to record a version of "Deportee (Plane Wreck at Lost Gatos)," written by Woody Guthrie and Martin Hoffman.
Other tracks on the album, a couple of which were recorded and mixed by John Abbey at Kingsize Sound Labs in Chicago, recollect the friendships of youth, the trials of marriage, and the pursuit of happiness.
David Kindler, a well-known photographer and friend, designed the stark and haunting artwork (based on one of his original photos) that graces 'You Won't Have a Name''s front and back covers. The album was mastered by Collin Jordan at The Boiler Room in Chicago, IL.
