See the Light is the second album by American singer Bo Bice, released on October 23, 2007 by Sugarmoney/StratArt.
Bice's debut album, The Real Thing , was with RCA. After parting ways with RCA, according to BoBice.com, he signed with the indie label $ugarmoney/StratArt, a partnership between Bo and the label of Strategic Artist Management, his management company. The album was released as a Wal-Mart exclusive. [4]
Bice stated about the sound of "See the Light" that: [5]
On the next album I’d like to go more rootsy, more country, more southern rock Bo.
"It's a star-studded cast, and I'm the only one on there who's not famous," the ever-humble Bice joked. "I picked and co-wrote the songs that if I was a guy who would be spending my hard-earned money buying an album I would want to hear." That means original back-to-basics Southern rock and country-tinged singer/songwriter tunes co-written with A.J. Croce (son of 1970s singer Jim Croce) and Chris Tompkins (Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats"). [6]
Bice also stated that he wrote thirty-one songs for the album and narrowed it down between ten and twelve songs. The songs featured session performances by classic and southern rock luminaries keyboardist Chuck Leavell, The Black Crowes’s drummer Steve Gorman, and guitarist Waddy Wachtel (who has worked with just about everyone, including The Rolling Stones, Bryan Ferry, Stevie Nicks and Bob Seger).
All songs written by Bo Bice, except where noted.
