Barricades can scare, challenge and stop us from achieving goals. They are everywhere and often invisible. I've gone through many barricades in my time—physical and emotional ones that stood between me and my goals. Had I failed to go through any of them, this cd would never have been made. © Thrive : Music and Lyrics: Steve Katz & Jonathan Klein ; Guitars: Jonathan Klein, Ken Eichler and Steve Katz ; Bass : Jonathan Klein; Drums : Cat (Joe) Simba. © Today I Saw Hope : Music: Steve Katz; Lyrics: Jeannie Reed ; Backing Vocals: Keren Tayar. © Barricades : Music and Lyrics: Steve Katz; Acoustic guitars: Steve Katz and Erez Lev Ari ; Electric guitars: Erez Lev Ari ; Bass and piano: Arthur Eli’; Drums: Ran Shimoni. © Fair : Music: Steve Katz ; Lyrics: Jane Jacobs; Acoustic guitars: Steve Katz and Erez Lev Ari; Electric guitars: Erez Lev Ari; Bass: Arthur Eli’; Backing vocal: Steve Katz © A Modern Tale: Music: Steve Katz; Lyrics: Harry Sauer; Acoustic and classic guitars: Steve Katz and Erez Lev Ari; Electric guitars: Erez Lev Ari; Bass: Arthur Eli’; Drums: Ran Shimoni All lead vocals by Steve Katz. “Thrive” produced by Jonathan Klein with the tremendous help of Ken Eichler .Recorded, mixed and mastered by Ken Eichler. “Today I Saw Hope” produced by Steve Katz, recorded, mixed and mastered by Ken Eichler. “Barricades” instrumentation produced and mixed by Arthur Eli’, recorded by David Saban, Erez Lev Ari and Arthur Eli’, mastered by Ken Eichler. “Fair” produced and mixed by Arthur Eli, recorded by David Saban, Erez Lev Ari and Arthur Eli’, mastered by Ken Eichler. “A Modern Tale” produced and mixed by Arthur Eli’, recorded by David Saban, Erez Lev Ari and Arthur Eli’, mastered by Ken Eichler.
