Hear the shared joy in 9 songs, 8 studio \u0026amp; 1 live!\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOver the last 38 years I've released albums under my own name as well as Carl Verheyen Band albums. In my way of thinking, there's a big difference.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe delineation rises out of the camaraderie and spirit that comes from weeks and even years on the road. Imagine leaving on a month-long tour and realizing you're about to have the next 90 meals with each other as you travel the next 9,000 miles together. If you still good friends after all that, you truly have something special. And I believe that brother and sisterhood, plus the shared joy of hearing the music in the air each night makes it a BAND. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Promised Future' has 7 original songs that we've road tested before recording, which I believe is a privilege. \u003cb\u003eRick Davies\u003c\/b\u003e from \u003cb\u003eSupertramp\u003c\/b\u003e would always lament that, 'it's too bad that the record is a demo for the tour,' as the music got better and deeper with repeated performances night after night. Rick was a dear friend and a real mentor to me ever since 1985 when I joined Supertramp, and sadly we lost him in 2025. So we recorded an 8 minute version of '\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTake the Long Way Home\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e' live in concert and included it along with a song from another of my heroes, the late \u003cb\u003eJesse Colin Young\u003c\/b\u003e. I wrote to Jesse as a teenage guitarist \/ fanboy, asking if I could play in his band. Amazingly he wrote me back and I still have that letter! \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'People let your light shine' are the beautiful lyrics he left us with, and we in the CVB all felt it was the perfect way to end 'Promised Future.'\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003eEvery 20 Seconds\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003ePromised Future\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eShallow Harbor\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eSurvive\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eTake The Long Way Home\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHippie Wedding\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHippie Reception\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eDark Angels\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eLight Shine\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cranktone Entertainment\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pop\/Rock\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43:43 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 08\/07\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 760137218289\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"VERHEYEN1","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48652617646329,"sku":"MVD21828A","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/MVD21828A.jpg?v=1783626525","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/carl-verheyen-promised-future-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
