Hmmm.
Eight months since the last
missive. Cripes.
Here's a quick little
report on goings
and comings.
A new record.....
The band spent another
few days at Jolly Roger
studios in Hoboken and
came away with a rasher
of new tunes. Once again
the erstwhile and
talented Gary Arnold
engineering. This time
there was an added bonus
in the person of one
J.D. Foster, who's producing
the record, much to our
delight. J.D.'s most recent
productions include
Richard Buckner's two
discs for MCA (Devotion and Doubt
and Since) and Marc Ribot's
Prosthetic Cubans.
J.D. has also worked with
the various likes of
Syd Straw, Dwight Yoakam,
Tish Hinojosa, The Silos,
John Zorn, Alejandro Escovedo
and Dan Stuart.
Here's the list of songs
which have been recorded
to date. At least these are
the working titles:
Simple Arithmetic
Deny You
Yesterday Falls Away
Fantastic Eye
I'll Believe
Torn in Two
Three Trips to Heaven and Back
I Know It's Mine
She Says (angel saint future faint)
Mary Come Lately
Mailbox
Holly Comes To
The midnight ramble of
Jeb Loy and Dave was a
rousing success and great fun.
That happened back in the
spring, of course. Three weeks
through Germany, Austria and
Switzerland. No tales of
drunken debauchery to tell.
Just multi-fender-benders
and that awesome chef in
Tuttlingen and a cool set
with B. Manning and a
cellar in Frankfurt and
Jeb started losing
his voice in Cologne, and by
Hamburg he sang Barry White
all night. Some very unexpected,
very cool versions of his
songs. Dave and Jeb are
planning to record a bit
together sometime this
fall, perhaps with an eye towards
releasing it as an album.
Dave's second solo acoustic
album Hammer and Nails,
is out now on Catamount Records.
You can find it online at
Nasal Twang or at
Miles of Music.
