"With or Without You"
by Jim Fusco

     Jim Fusco's first album, "With or Without You," started as a concept.  Jim wanted to make an album of songs sung from two points of view: being with someone and being without someone!  The result is presented here.

     The fifteen songs here are the absolute first released recordings from Jim.  He didn't know how to play the guitar yet, and just barely knew some piano that he taught to himself.  Jim used MIDI keyboard programming to play the hard parts he just couldn't play yet (without messing up).  The entire album was recorded on a Fostex 4-track mixer, and some songs, like the "Best Of..." starter "You Don't Know (The Way That I Feel)," have only keyboard, drums and vocals.  But, the songs sound complete, nonetheless.

Unfortunately, the album is out of print, but the sound clips available above really give an insightful view to the songs of Jim Fusco that are really describing his first sixteen years.  This first album shows the great potential for Jim Fusco albums to come.  Listen to the start of it all.
