BETTER DAYS

Don Cromwell is a professional producer/songwriter/musician based in Los Angeles. Originally from the East Bay Area in Northern California, Don spent several years in the Seattle music scene before relocating to Southern California. He became a fixture at the avant-garde label Unicorn Records, writing songs for and performing on many of their diverse releases. From 1983 through 1987, Don toured as the bass player with the renowned pop group Air Supply. While with the band, he worked with top producers in the studio, co-wrote songs on the hit album ‘Air Supply,’ and appeared in numerous videos and television performances. Following Air Supply, Don played bass with rock legend Eddie Money, touring and recording with him over the next six years. Don teamed up with long-time Eddie guitarist - Tommy Girvinto form the group Ransom, releasing an album in Europe and Japan entitled ‘Trouble in Paradise.’ The CD was well received, with two tracks charting on Germany’s Melodic Rock Traxx top 100. After deciding to forego life on the road, Don has gone on to write and produce for Eddie Money, Jennifer Rush, Jana Anderson (of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac), and several top EMI Europe artists. He has recently completed production on Air Supply lead vocalist Russell Hitchcock’s solo CD - ‘Take Time.’ Don still enjoys playing live whenever possible, and with his production company and studio, continues to produce and write for both up-and-coming and established artists. Overall, this is a fine release which the opener, the track ‘Better Days’, and the power ballad ‘Learn To Be Alone’ perfectly proof – they re-awaken memories on better days of the music business.
