CD Progress
Well, it’s happened. The CD has finally started the long progress of recording. It’s been 3 weeks now and nothing is complete, but I’m optimistic. I go in on Friday and lay down some vocals for two songs. After that, one more track on each and they should be complete, unless we decide to add additional tracks. So 2 down and 12 to go!!
The first two songs are “Black is the Colour” and “Hired Hands” which is a rewrite of a trad Scottish piece called the “Ploy Boy Lads”. One is a love song of longing and the other is a “poor me” song. You may notice a theme through out my CD and it’s not consciously done, although after the last 2 years of my life I’m sure there is a lot of subconscious rolling around in there. So as a disclaimer, I don’t hate men (they’re better roasting on a stick…haha seriously just kidding here)! And to add to that I am working with some really fantastic men on my CD. I couldn’t have asked for a more talented group of musicians and consider myself lucky they even associate with me.
I’m hoping to have the CD done by June, but with all the gigs that we all do, some of which are taking bits and pieces of us out of town, I’m hoping for August. We’ll see what happens, so keep your fingers crossed!!
