About the artists
Over a rich career, spanning four decades, Jeffrey Dean Foster has toured the country and shared the stage with Bob Dylan, The Cowboy Junkies, Alex Chilton, Alejandro Escovedo, Ian Hunter and many more. He's scored an entire Angus MacLachlan film, racked up accolades from all the right magazines, and was labelmates with Whitney Houston! I'm Starting To Bleed is the latest chapter in Jeffrey Dean Foster’s exceptional career in music, which dates back to the mid-1980s. Long before the Americana movement caught fire – before the genre even had a name, in fact – Foster was synthesizing folk, rock and roots music with such bands as the Right Profile, the Carneys and the Pinetops. Signed to Arista Records by Clive Davis, the Right Profile were poised for success as a proto-Americana group; why it didn’t happen is one of those classic music-biz tales. A 1998 album with The Pinetops, Above Ground and Vertical, showed the individuality of Foster's vision, but it was the long-awaited release of Million Star Hotel, his first solo album, that finally gathered all facets of his musical vision in a uniformly spectacular fashion. Upon the release of Foster's album, The Arrow, Stereophile Magazine commented, "The Arrow, a near masterpiece on virtually every level. This is the kind of album that will stop you in your tracks."
