Mike Gordon To Release First Solo Album July 6, 2003 - Billboard By Troy Carpenter Phish bassist Mike Gordon is set to release his first solo album, "Inside In," Aug. 26 on Ropeadope Records. The album's origins lie in the Gordon-directed experimental feature film "Outside Out," which was released in 2000. Gordon created the album based on pieces of music from the mostly instrumental soundtrack. "Inside In" is "the music from 'Outside Out' reworked into songs," Gordon told Billboard.com last year. Gordon wrote all songs on the 15-track album and plays guitar, bass, Wurlitzer organ, accordion, washing machine and more on the disc. He is also joined by drummer Russ Lawton, multi-instrumentalist James Harvey, pedal steel guitarist Gordon Stone, banjoist Bela Fleck, Phish drummer Jon Fishman and other guests. Last year, Gordon released an album he recorded in collaboration with guitarist Leo Kottke. The Private Music/RCA disc, titled "Clone," debuted at No. 17 on Billboard's Top Internet Albums chart. Gordon said further recordings with Kottke were a possibility. "We're both enthusiastic about the idea of trying out different stuff and pushing the duo thing in new ways," he said. Here is the tracklist for "Inside In": "Take Me Out" "Bone Delay" "Admoop" "Outside Out" "Beltless Buckler" "Soul Food Man" "The Teacher" "Gatekeeper" "Couch Lady" "Major Minor" "The Lesson" "Exit Wound" "Steel Bones" "Take Me Out II" "Take Me Out outro" Article Copyright © 2003 Billboard
