Crazy Quilt #1
Thursday, 15 January 2009 17:27It's here!!!
My new album is done. Done done done!
Crazy Quilt number one has 16 songs recorded at 12 different shows at 4 different venues. Some of the recordings are from mere months ago, and some go as far back as 2004! It's got a great representation of my instrumental arsenal (acoustic & electric 12 string, banjo, bouzouki, & of course, harmonica).
Here's the track list:
01 Catch The Wind
02 Frog Kissin'
03 Women Are Smarter
04 Jambalaya
05 Melissa
06 I've Come A Long Way
07 In The Early Morning Rain
08 Goin' To California
09 Woodstock
10 Memory Of A Free Festival
11 Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag
12 Knockin' On Heaven's Door
13 Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again
14 MTA Song
15 Music, Sex, & Cookies
16 The Walrus & The Carpenter
You'll notice that several of these songs are favorites that have been requested a bunch of times. That trend will likely continue on future albums. So if you want to see a favorite of my repertoire on a future recording, your best bet is to keep requesting it at my shows!
The album being of more modern extraction, there's some styles and chordings that you've not heard much on the previous albums (even tho you've heard plenty of it at the shows).
Personally, I think that instrumentally, this is more subtle than Patches or Heart Of Green. There are still moments that really wowed me upon listening, but they're more integrated into the songs. The big standout moments do come, and I'm delighted to find that for the first time on one of my own recordings, I'm hearing my harmonica playing at my fullest dimensions.
It's price, now that it's done, is $10 (which, like the others is a bargain considering what it would cost to actually take me home and feed me). I'll make sure to have them with me at meetings, gatherings, and of course, my gigs from this point on.
