A lot of people have been asking me when I’m going to release some new music. Long story short-I’ve got a stack of songs, I haven’t done any “deal” shopping (meaning either some kind of label or publishing agreement) so, it’s a question of how is the best way of going about it while making sure I have quality recordings and, at the same time, keeping my costs down.
The plan is to record one song at a time and do a series of digital only releases. Which is really what I’ve wanted to do all along, approach each song as a “single” while recording it, as opposed to thinking of it as one piece of a larger puzzle.
Anyway, I’m going up to Lou’s on Saturday morning to cut a song. Lloyd is going to come in and play drums so, it will be just the three of us on the floor. Right now, we’re talking about a blues that I wrote a while ago, “Market Street” but, I reserve the right to make a last minute change of direction.
I don’t know what the turn-around time on this is going to be because, we haven’t done this before.

Seriously, good luck at the studio. I’ll bet you can track and mix ‘em all in one day if’n the good Lord is willin’ and the creek don’t rise…

Thanks J. Actually, I like the idea of a limited run vinyl release with all the trimmings. May be something down the road.
Don’t know if we’ll mix the same day as I have a gig down in Branson that night. I’d rather mix with fresh ears though anyway.

Thanks Ovidiu, we’ll see how this goes. If it works out, I’d like to do this on a regular basis.

Pribe’s, You’ve been one busy beaver. Outlandish productions going on there in the foothills. I am trying to think of a suitable reward to give you guys!! It revolves around Groove Tubes gone digital… managing chaos… seminal retro-explosions.
Can I ask a question? I sat in one of those Bose listening rooms, and watched/listened to their demonstration… digital.
Then I went to a neighbors who had the full blown seven speaker digital setups. Eh. I can hear the tick tick of digital… like I can see the 60 cps of alternating current… (AC)… so then
I went to drop some of my black/white film off for processing and noticed the high end portraiture in the shop… no grain. In photographic terms — foggy.
So if I might mention yet one more time in the face of progress; how are we better off with digital?
You will be experimenting with the straight to digital recordings… so I am anticipating your level critique… or no?
