Bootlegs (Part 1)

Hi Friends,

Last month I was playing a show at The Flip Flop Bar in Savannah, GA. A gentleman came up and asked if he could record me playing. I said yes and he stayed and watched for about 45 mins. Well last week I played at that same spot and Lo and Behold Larry Sammons showed up with a burned cd of the entire show that he had taped on 12/2/2011. Pretty rad if you ask me.(Yes, I'm bringing "rad" back).

Anywho, I thought I'd share those songs with you (totally free). I hope you like them. There is a Josh Ritter and a Black Keys cover in this in this set. Special thanks to Larry for recording this show.

Waiting Blues

I've always really loved the feel of Spanish music. I visited that sound on an old song called Deja Vu. Recently I'd been listening to a bit of Rodrigo y Gabriela and I think that sound had an influence on this song. It's one of the few groups that E. and I agree kick total ass. You can check them out HERE. Prepare to have your mind blown.

I tried to get some intensity in this song through some loud/soft dynamics. This song has minimal overdubs. Elizabeth wanted even fewer instruments (like always) but on this song there is still only 1 acoustic rhythm and 2 electric lead guitars. This is my weird version of a blues song.

This song is also going to have a video!!!! If you'd like to hear more about the Kickstarter campaign for the video you can go HERE. The guys from Mutual Co. are helping me get this thing off the ground and I think it's going to look fantastic. More details on that coming soon!
