It features Duckie Simpson on lead for all 15 tracks. Half of the album was recorded in California & the rest was finished in Jamaica. Most of the production was done by well-known Jamaican keyboard player Horace “King Hopeton” Campbell at his Double Lion Studio in Northern California who also tours with the band.

Dr Chrispy - VHS CD
DR CHRISPY (aka Dr. Chris Boshuizen) is an award-winning aeronautical engineer, music producer, and songwriter who has spent the last 15 years tragically torn between two loves: Music and Space Exploration. DR CHRISPY runs his home studio in San Francisco where he is finishing two albums, the first of which is VHS, set for release internationally in stores and online September 14, 2018. VHS is a collection of instrumental tracks Chris began writing in 2003 while traveling for work as an aerospace engineer. Each track was written in a different location, titled with the name of a city, airport code, or local attraction, and captures the vibe of each place and moment in time. VHS is an auditory travel diary, inviting you along to hear and experience the evolution from Dr. Chris Boshuizen, Space Scientist, to DR CHRISPY, the Artist.
