11/28/08 - The new record, "box elder," is done. Shipped off the master today. Should have the product in hand by say, December 22nd or so. Included on the disc are guitarist Bill McDavid (ex-Sleeman Gulch Blues Band), harmony singer Ricky Drake (The Fidgets), drummer Greg Grossi (ex- Apples of Discord), drummer Brandon Zimmer (Certain Molecules, Joan Zen) and drummer Travis Yost (Tom Catmull and the Clerics, The Fidgets). The record has 11 songs. I played and sang everything except for McDavid's electric on the tune "Handful of Dirt," Drake's harmonies on three tunes, and the three drummers listed above. One of my favorite things about the disc is the contrasting sounds of the three drummers. Lots of different sounds on this disc. I think you'll like it. It will be available at CD Baby, and for downloads at iTunes, all by the end of January or so. I've posted track 2, "Faded Stain," on my page. Check it out, and let me know what you think...
