So a few people have asked me about the new songs we've been writing over the past few months. I did some preliminary recording today of riffs which will show up on the new CD. This photo might give you some idea of the sound I've been looking for...for the last six months I've been listening to Jimmie Vaughan, Peter Green's early Fleetwood Mac songs, The Stooges (again!), Freddie King and, to balance off the blues, the greatest hits from OMD (yes you remember them and you love "If You Leave"--admit it!) and The Chills. We'll be recording this CD ourselves as we did the first one...this is a shot of the guitar set-up I've been using: and new Gibson Melody Maker, my old Fender Champ, and a few pedals (that's an Homebrew Uno Mos booster which sound very Faces-like with the Gibson and the Champ). That's great for you gear-heads, but what is the new sound? I'll post a rough demo of one of the new songs, "The Jackson Stomp," in the next few days. Since Rosie and Ben both have songs about them, we figured Jackson the bunny should be next...!
