Update
Wait for it. My album is underway and I'm real excited about it. I should make you all suspense-full and not tell you anything about this album, but I don't think anybody comes here. So if nobody comes here, Ryan, you're just processing this information - this trite and meaningless information - for yourself. Right. Whatever. I will break this down into about 2-9 exciting facts:
1. I have assembled a very professional crew to fill out my sound! They are as follows:
2. Dave Malinich is a great engineer/producer and is real good to work with. About me, Dave sez:
"He has nice chord changes."
Gibbs says in my ear:
"pleaseletmeshowyoumypenis"
That crazy guy!
3. I have overhauled most of my songs. Which is probably a good idea, considering the wide subject matter and the two years over which these were written. Most of them have been fingerdicked so much in the last month or two that it'll show just where I am musically these days.
4. Tracklist:
5. Title: Back To From Where You Came, which is from two things: "Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues" by Bob Dylan and something out of the Bible which is about the east wend blowing back to from where it came. I think it's in Ecclesiastes.
I am about 35-40% through. Friday, we're recording the pedal steel and piano parts. Saturday, the drums, which leaves bgvs, bass, sax, mixing, mastering and other odds and ends along the way.
Safety tip for the studio. Keep pop away from electronic stuff. It's a bad idea. Unless you need it. And YOU need it. Bad. ¶ 7:05 PM
