''Wishpool'' is the third and final studio album by American hard rock band Brother Cane, released March 31, 1998. It features the hit "I Lie in the Bed I Make," which was their second #1 single on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, maintaining that position for four weeks. Due to low album sales, however, Virgin released Brother Cane which disbanded soon after. Nevertheless, ''Wishpool'' remains arguably the group's best album. ==Production== ''Wishpool'' marked a different creative approach for Brother Cane; rather than writing about a dozen songs before entering the studio, the band took an extended period of time to write almost 40 songs, with the idea that the more songs they wrote, the more strong ones they would have to choose from.〔Whiddon, Jennifer (Brother Cane Announces 3rd Release: Wishpool ) TheHarbinger.org (April 14, 1998). Retrieved on 1-31-10.〕 Frontman Damon Johnson has regarded ''Wishpool'' as "certainly my most personal statement as a lyricist and the body of work that I am most proud of."〔(Damon Johnson: A Musical History ) DamonJohnson.com. Retrieved on 1-31-10.〕 He reflected on the album in a 2006 interview, noting that by the time they began recording ''Wishpool'', he was very comfortable with his vocals and put considerably more effort into his writing and singing. However, Johnson elaborated: :"Wishpool was a struggle to make on a lot of levels: the band was struggling to find a larger audience and, still, a musical identity; our record company was changing employees like I change my socks; and the entire record lyrically was inspired by challenges I was dealing with in my marriage, which at the time was very up and down." Working with producer Kelly Gray, who later replaced Chris DeGarmo of Queensrÿche, led Johnson, Gray, and Queensrÿche drummer Scott Rockenfield to later form the side project Slave to the System. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wishpool」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
