It was recorded in June at a friends studio, Mr. Robbie Cribbs.
He has a little place here on Whidbey Island, way up in the woods,
he calls it SOUND
TRAP STUDIOS. Over all I had a lot of fun working with him.
He's very patient, as I tend to get very critical of my work when
I am recording, asking often, "do you think we could try that
just one more time?", even though he thought I had just done it
perfectly. The song itself is a country tune, very simple but beautiful, just guitar and vocals. It's got a Johnny Cash-ish vibe, but with really nice harmonies. It's a song about longing, about loving someone whom you are not able to be with any more, about not being able to get that person out of your mind, and about leaving it all behind. I was fortunate enough to work with an incredible artist by the name of AMY WALKER, who sang with me. Her voice is like butter, and in my opinion, made the song feel complete. She's doing quite well for herself, has a video on youtube called 21 Accents that has something like 6-7 million views, and has also cut a record with Jack White entitled Discourse on Accents.
I went up to Robbie's studio at something like 9 in the morning, layed down a guitar track, and then did my lead vocal part before lunch. We mixed the two together, just before Amy showed up to lay down her vocal part. Then we did a final mix and walla!, what you hear is what you get. Like I said, real simple but beautiful. I hope you take the time to check it out, and if it's to your liking, add it to your collection. Your support is what funds my future projects. Also, if you purchase the song, leave feedback, it's what generates intrest and pushes the skeptics over the edge if they can't make up their minds. Thanks
