Biography

Throw Caution To The Wind was started in early 2020. All of the 16 songs were written over the next two years by Jeff Bove.

As with other Jeff Bove Project records, this one is also multi-genre.The songs reflect influences from Steely Dan,Tom Petty, the Eagles, the Byrds, Spirit, Santana , Sting and many others. There are shades of 60’s overtones, country, blues, pop, rock and funk.
The lyrics work seamlessly with well structured lead lines and arrangements:

“Where do the butterflies go? Do they leave the hills for the fields down below?”
From “I Wish Time Stood Still”.


“Somedays you’ve got a fortune to spend, then the next day you’ve got nothing to lend. ”
From “Don’t Throw Love Away”.


“If we keep holding hands we won’t have to say goodbye”.
From “Throw Caution to the Wind”.


“Life is full of twists and turns,I’m thankful for all I’ve got, Every time I think of you,I know I’ve got a lot”.
From “Dusty Road”.

“Love is like a rambling rose, it makes you feel so good wherever it grows”.
From “Get Back to You”.

“I had no idea it would be this way,just trying to make it through another day”.
From “A Little Bit of This”.

Throughout the record, acoustic guitars are blended with dulcimers, cathedral organs, Hammond organs, pianos and a variety of other virtual instruments. A Rickenbacker electric 12 string was also used on a number of songs.

Dan White sang all 16 songs. A truly stellar performance and with no pitch control.

Tommy Alderson played acoustic and electric guitars and contributed some memorable lead work, complimenting the vocal lines.

Tommy also played the bass tracks with Dave Lee on drums. Jeff blended in some low frequency virtual basses in spots and piano bass.

The record was written, arranged, tracked, mixed and produced by Jeff Bove, who also played guitar, keyboards and virtual instruments. As with all of the Jeff Bove Projects, it was mastered by Fab Dupont at Flux Studio in New York.

Dave Lee, who provided invaluable input, served as the primary editing engineer and was assisted by Nick Krill.

Dave Meredith supplied the artwork and design.
