Just a short note today as it was a long day and I’m beat. We got out to the ranch around 9.45am after securing a little breakfast in Hernando. Kevin Houston, our engineer was setting up and we hung out while it was all getting plugged in. We were only there for a bit when some of the Burnside family (as in R freaking L) showed up for a quick hang. We met Dexter Burnside and RL’s youngest son, the severely talented, Gary Burnside. A couple other folks who’s names we missed. Funny hang. very chilled out. A good ‘vibe’ setter for the day. Unfortunately I had gone upstairs to grab a Harmony guitar I saw laying there all lonely like, I thought she may want to be played, Anyway, before I got back downstairs Gary and the fella’s had split before I could strap a guitbox on him. Oh well. He’ll be around most of the week.
We tracked hard all day. We ended up getting seven tunes in there. Long ass day but so productive. We only broke for and hour to go eat some BBQ. Delish! Then it was back to the studio to cut a mellow tune called “She Ain’t You”. More of the same tomorrow with lots of giving ‘er and much tracking. More guests planned for tomorrow and you can bet we’re gonna get them to strap up a geetar too! Stay tuned. In the meantime here’s a couple pics…..
Our weapons of rocknroll destruction. Reso, Cherry Sherry, Green Hornet, a Harmony I found upstairs, T-bird and the P-bass.
