The Girl Can Sing...
Came back home for a few days and did a great session with local Memphis singer/songwriter, Kait Lawson for an upcoming record...had a ball. This young lady has a bright future ahead and can definitely hold her own as a powerful voice. The songs were good, too! Two masterful cats joined me in the studio, my pal Steve Selvidge (The Hold Steady) on multiple guitars & the great Sam Shoup on upright and electric bass. I felt so lucky to have finally gotten the chance to record with these guys. What a treat. Anyhow, keep your eyes peeled for this one.I tried a bit of muting and muffling this time, which yielded some nice results. A bandanna over the snare gave it really dry and punchy tone. The producer loved it.This trip home has been productive, fun and pretty relaxing. Back to LA in the a.m.
