Liner Notes

This is the first track I worked on this FAWM. I wanted it to be a country song, but instead this slow string-band dance tune clawed its way to the front, obliterating what I thought was a great opening line for the chorus: "Call me anything you like, but don't call me late for dinner."

Banjo and mandolin in one song - yes please!! I like how you separated them in the mix and also how the banjo has the lead and the mandolin is adding some lovely bright flavor - maybe even a little like a call and response, or an echo. Either way my ears are really enjoying it. Upright bass also - very nice! All played so well also - and they are all quite different. The theme that the banjo plays feel like home to me in the song. It is comforting every time it comes around. Well done!

This is really cool - listening to a bunch of your stuff - do you like Uncle Tupelo (the band that spawned Son Volt and Wilco)? Check our their album called "March 16-20, 1992" - I think you'd like it.

Loving the string work here. The Mandolin and banjo work so magical together. Really loving the bass line that keeps constant too. Not an easy piece of work to bring together, but you've done it masterfully. Well done!

You need to hook up with a fiddler. Because I can hear that banjo panned left is singing its head off with melody, but my heart wants a fiddle for it to play with.

Collab? Seek thee a violin.

Enjoyed my chonka chonka listen. This is legit.

I can hear this playing in the country halls not a Mile from where I am now! Very catchy easy to listen to number!

I could imagine dancing to this in the Appalachians and discovering it fit the foot movements we were taught as kids in Lowland Scotland as what was called Highland dancing....!

As much as I'd like to hear those lyrics, you have written a really great banjo/mandolin tune here. It's got a relaxed pace, which allowed me to focus on your tones and melodies, which are both a joy. Really well done!

This happens to me all the time when I write. I start off with one song and another elbows its way in front of the one I wanted to write. Clawing it’s way in, that’s a banjo analogy isn’t it?

The way this just slides in was very nostalgic to me. It felt like driving into the valley with my dad in his truck. Some old 70's song he liked playing from the tape deck.

A taste of CCR here. Or a taste of what they were influenced by.
