Went back to the studio @ Dan Hazlett's to tweak "Marveline". Upon listening to the previous mixdown, I realized that I hadn't been true to my original concept or image of a more "dream-like" quality to  the tune. Dan slipped in a little decay & more reverb, and voila.....sweeetness. Now it'll be off to Tim Pak for mastering....wooohoooo!!!

Update here on our CD...Ok, so we’ve made this decision to put out a 5-track EP. For the sake of promoters and such, this seems like the best thing for us to do at present. More than likely we’ll start working on a full-length CD come fall. That’s the plan, Stan et al.

Lawdy, lawdy, Miss Claudy...we're workin' hard on a CD that is a long time a comin'. Our studio is over at songwriter-guitarist extraordinaire, Dan Hazlett's place. The other night, I thought I was fixin' to have church when vocalist, Ms. Toni Erskine of Hardline Drive, provided her gorgeoussss voice to "Marveline". The song is not just a "vision" any more...it's becoming what I dreamed it could be. Along with Toni, the dobro/guitarist for Hardline, Greg Fuson, added his soulful, melancholic (is that a word?) interpretation to the song. Greg also gave an eerie, tension-filled slant on "My Momma's People". This guy has got to be Jerry Douglass' long-lost cousin or something. He channels quite the Douglass vibe w/his own lil' "somethin', somethin".

Keepin' ya up to date...
