IN THE STUDIO

I've been in the studio with my brother recording tracks for my soon to be released solo acoustic album. I still have bass on a couple of tunes and washboard, harmonica and foot percussion on a couple, but it's all acoustic guitars and songs written for such instruments. Anyway, we sure do have a good time working out all the details on these tracks. Chris, my brother is a master at coming up with the right sound and approach for a tune. It's really easy to create when you surround yourself with people like this. Having that kind of partner in the studio is invaluable, but someone who can write and structure songs like Chris, well it's a world unto itself. Bottom line is, there is no finer place for a musician to be (besides playing on live stage) than the recording studio. And if you are going to be in one making art, make sure you are surrounded by genius, friendly folk.
