Finished the VIVA sessions . That music still haunts me. Strange, powerful, like european gypsy jazz folk punk sung by Tom Waits or a drunken Leon Redbone. The lyrics are confessional and I believe therapeutic for Tony. Desperation Alley might have the most descriptive lyric I've ecer heard. I won't give it away, but it's somethings God might do after a long friday night.
Tonight I get back to recording Bill and John Storch's guitar tracks for their new CD. I LOVE recording guitars. That's whereI belong, I can really delve into coaxing the tone from an amp. Me, my red box, a Cascade Fathead and two good channels of Vintech (Neve) with some nice compression to smooth it out.
Saturday, Andrew Chance McCausland is coming over to lay down the lead guitar for Circling the drain and Heroes. He has dobro, baritone.lead and slide parts ready to go. Greg will sit as head cahuna and decide if everything fits. I kind of like leaving the arranging to him. At first it felt real weird, but, after hearing the songs progress, I'm sure he knows what he is doing. He learns faster than anyone I know.He has a knack for getting rid of the clutter and finding the beauty in the structure of the song. Then, he wraps it in harmony. Genius.
JR sounds like he did some serious recording with Mike. Mike said think Tom Petty (Into the great wideopen). Holy shit, Tom Petty. I can't %#(^%)@ wait.
Gotta go get ready, till we meet again, Ola Marc
