"THE ENTIRE 'FANTASY' PROJECT WAS BORN OF OF MATHEWS' DESIRE TO RECORD A PROJECT WITH ETTA JAMES, THE R&B ICON WITH WHOM HE SPENT TWO DECADES TOURING.  SHE WAS GAME BUT WHEN HER FAILING HEALTH DERAILED THE COLLABORATION HE DECIDED TO SEIZE THE MOMENT, INVITING A DIVERSE CAST OF MUSICIANS INTO  FANTASY STUDIOS FOR THE INITIAL SESSIONS.  WHILE THERE WERE A FEW HIT MAKERS IN THE MIX (LIKE STEVE MILLER AND MARIA MULDAUR) MATHEWS WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THE REGION'S MOST EXTRAVAGANTLY UNDER - CELEBRATED ARTISTS.  MORE THAN ANYTHING, THE 'FANTASY SESSIONS' ARE AN OPEN HEARTED EXPRESSION OF GRATITUDE FOR THE PLAYERS WHO HAVE EMBRACED AND NUTURED HIM OVER THE DECADES.

WITH 'FANTASY SESSIONS, MATHEWS CONTINUES THE PAY BACK , CELEBRATING MASTERS WHO STILL HAVE SO MUCH TO GIVE."
