CAVED-IN HEART BLUES was written while I was
sitting around the Wilco loft in Chicago, playing with
a lot of reverb. The title is actually literal. It IS a blues,
but only one trip through 1-4-5-4-1. As for the caved-in
heart part, well, I am pretty sure that most humans can
get a feeling or idea about that image/sensation. I play
my beloved Jerry Jones baritone guitar on the main body
of the piece, and the psych blues collage is lap steel and
6-string electric looped, reversed, delayed, etc., along
with Scott's electronics and Devin's arco bass harmonics
and textures. I think of this as being in the mood and tradition
of the work song. Our version, anyway.
