about

Guided by Love is the 11th full length studio album by Seattle, Washington born and eclectic international touring musician, Mike Spine.

The album title and songs were largely written as a counter to an era of hate, corruption, discrimination, and narcissism at the highest levels of US power structures. Amidst all the ugliness, Guided by Love paints pictures of empathy, solidarity, and love for those struggling to survive and thrive in these times.

It features a cast of “Underground All-Stars”, including Lori Goldston on cello (Nirvana, David Byrne, Cat Power), Jeff Fielder on guitars and mandolin (Mark Lanegan, Indigo Girls, Heart, etc), Paul Brainard on pedal steel (Decemberists, Eels, She & Him, M. Ward, Dandy Warhols, Kenny Rogers), Johnny Sangster on guitar (KD Lang, Neko Case, Laura Veirs), Barbara Luna (Milan, Italy) on violin/piano/organ/vocals, Joey Prude (Portland, OR) on drums, Ali Ippolito (Portland) on piano/accordion/vocals, Rob Bartleson (Portland) on bass, Aaron Starkey (Seattle/Chicago) on guitar, Aaron Goodrich (Portland) on vocals, Joshua Lee Loomis (NY/Boston) on guitar, Massimo Catalano (Basilicata, Italy) on bağlama, and Mike Spine on songwriting, etc.

The album was recorded by Robert Bartleson (Wilco, Pink Martini) and mixed by Johnny Sangster (Mudhoney, Mark Lanegan, etc) and mastered by Ed Brooks (Pearl Jam, REM, Heart, Fleet Foxes).
