Long time no post
The mixes are finished.
Dave Miles and myself are exhausted and music has been going round and round in our heads for too long.
There were one or two false starts and once or twice we had to redo tracks but hey you get that.
Mastering is set for next Thursday 21 June at Dex Audio and they will handle manufacture as well. Cletis is currently working on the cover and we are putting some sort of schedule together.
Waiting to get masters before updating music page or speaking to distributors. 2 we have our eye on are Shock records and MGM distribution
I won't say when it should be released as there are always hold ups and it's better to err on the side of caution but August should definitely see it in the shops.
All in all 12 tracks are there, all bar one are originals and a few didn't make the cut because they didn't fit the vibe.
What finished is different to what started out and a few new songs were written on the way, [Godfather of my soul, Girl upcountry, Blown it all away and Geds instrumental called Waiting for you] Even though the songs that didn't make it aren't weak [Magic eyes, Everybody's gotta learn sometimes, First song, Scarlet tide] they just didn't fit and the style definitely went more folksy.as it went along.
We are only just discovering a sound.
Playing at the markets in Mudgee this Saturday and should have some even newer original songs to try out. One is an accapella number called "Cradle to grave" and another pop/country rocker called "Dead mans jeans" about a haunted pair of jeans??? Our version of Cottonfields might get a run and its going to be great to play with Andi Garland again. He just makes such a difference to the mix. Can't wait to get him into the studio.
