It’s ok friends don’t worry…I can keep water down and I’m comin around

I TRULY think we need times like this to CLEARLY remind us how much we should be appreciating every single good day that ever goes by


Stuff to watch next time you are totally fucking laid out for 5 days :

The Ken Burns Vietnam Doc (amazing but heavily slanted towards “it was all a huge mistake “)

The Vietnam War In Color (the best true explanation of everything that actually led up to our involvement in the war going back to 20’s Indo-China I have ever seen)

The Battle Of Chosin Reservoir (an UNBELIEVABLE doc about the toughest Americans that have ever lived)

The Family I Had (an amazing doc about some crazy ass shit that happened in Texas)

Abandoned (a movie about ship wreck that looks like it’s gonna be corny as hell but it’s actually amazing)

Notes
Here’s a broken link that will start working tmrw
https://jeddhughes1.bandcamp.com/albu...

Please don’t email me and tell me the link isn’t working

My personal favorite song on the record is the last track called “tumbleweed city”

Jordan Perlson guested on the album with the percussion and the full drum kit you hear on a couple songs

Guthrie played guitar, all the mandolin stuff and a lot of the guitar solos

Jedd and I split acoustics

I played all the keys and the bass

We stayed true to our acoustic theme on the album …even the bass you hear was provided by my trusty old harmony h-22 hollow body bass

The keyboards used were a real Rhodes suitcase 73, lots of mellotron and even some Farfisa

MANY different acoustic guitars were used..my old mid 70s guild flamey blonde jumbo 12 made SEVERAL appearances, mostly being wrangled by poor Jedd

When you have an engineer as great as Brandon Bell, the sky is the limit sonically.

It’s almost like cheating working with him…like magic
