Following the breakout success of Cicero Nights, Chicago composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist James Weir returns with the second Blue Earth Sound album, Everything to Remember.
Recorded across multiple sessions in Chicago and shaped during writing retreats in rural Wisconsin, the album explores memory, nostalgia and the moments that quietly shape our lives. Across ten original compositions, Blue Earth Sound blends cinematic jazz, soulful grooves and warm analogue textures into a richly immersive listening experience.
Built around Fender Rhodes, Hammond organ, flute, saxophone and guitar, Everything to Remember draws inspiration from spiritual jazz, vintage Italian soundtrack music, soul and Chicago's collaborative music scene, creating a sound that's both timeless and distinctly modern.
From the uplifting opener 'Feeling Tonight' through to the hopeful closing moments of 'Time Flies', Everything to Remember unfolds like a soundtrack to life's defining moments; an album made for deep listening, whether on headphones or the turntable.
