Run This Way Forever
This is the debut album, the one that opened doors all
around the U.S.
as one of the most successful independently released
records of the day. Run This Way Forever was long
anticipated in Seattle, and when it came out it sold over
15,000 copies in the first few months, an unheard of
accomplishment for an independently released album. This
was still in the days of LPs and cassettes, just before
the music industry began it's move to CDs.
A beautiful album of story telling, with gorgeous melodies
and bright, intelligent songs, jazzy pop to uptempo
folk-rock and hauntingly beautiful ballads. Run Like
the River Runs and Yellow Windows,
Raining Away and Asphalt Dream became known
in cities all over the country and are still requested at
concerts. Initially, in 1985, this record was released
only in Seattle, then to a handful of alternatively run
stations around the U.S. the next year. At every single
one of those stations, from Orlando to Baltimore to Santa
Fe to Casper to San Francisco, San Antonio to Fairbanks,
this was the number one requested album of the year in
1986.
