I made a solo record, it is called "Inspiral Notebooks". I had a lot of free time this winter, and since it was free, I used my studio to put together 14 songs. Some of the songs had been collecting dust on the shelf for many years. I went through and found some old ones that I thought were good, and wrote a bunch more too. I stayed up until 5 am putting bongos and guitars on, figuring out parts for my new Thomas organ and stuff, harmonizing..it is a weird album.
This in no way signals the end to Ol' Yeller, don't get that idea. Ol' Yeller is slowly working on another record as well, and nothing beats rocking out with my buds. We'll probably be playing some of these Inspiral Notebooks songs real soon.
The cd will be released on April 24. This would have been my dad's 65th birthday, had he survived. April 24, 2007 is also one day after my 40th birthday. Yeah!
I'll have the music available online some time in May, meanwhile come to a show if you want one!
