FAT O's And RECORDING, Part the Second
Didn't write anything after our show at Fat O'Harry's on Sept. 7. But the show went very well--the crowd gradually got into it and by the end of the night, people were begging us to continue.
We played lots of originals, even mixing them in after we played party rock tunes. There was lots o' Celtic shin-swinging during "Copperhead Road," probably more than this laddie's ever seen, don't you know...
The staff and management of Fat O's was very nice and helpful and treated us very well--better than a lot of clubs, that's for damn sure.
We also recorded the show and may put up an mp3 or two on myspace or something...it came out fairly decent...
Recording
We all went to Plowhandle studios in Jackson today to work on our upcoming album (which might end up being called "Liberty Road"). What we worked on was mostly for show, though, because we were being filmed by a crew from Mississippi ETV for a future segment on their "Mississippi Roads" show. Key Ivey was the producer, Jeremy was the cameraman (who'd jammed with us before at Todd and Katie's wedding a few years back), and I didn't catch the sound guy's name, but he was good.
But it was really cool, they were very professional and easy to work with. We may end up keeping some of the parts we recorded while our every movement was being filmed--or we may not. Either way, the show should be interesting--they plan on recording some live shows, doing interview segments, and what not.
Molly Thomas, artist in her own right as well as session/road musician for Todd Snider and others, came in to lay down some fiddle on a few tunes--"Sorry About That," "Carolina Divorce Song," "Just To Be Free," and--I think there was another one...she sounded really good and was also very easy to work with.
Chris and Steve are working on Chris' bass parts and vocals tonight and tomorrow, and will probably finish by tomorrow night, when the rest of us will go back up that way for a show at the illustrious Ribeye's in Yazoo City...then it's everybody else's turn to lay down their tracks...
