From our #pandemic remote recording series. Teamed up with the great Barry Gray to cover a sweet #JohnPrine tune. Playing my 80s American #stratocaster fitted with #Duesenberg benders.

I did a little video editing of our cover of #JohnPrine’s #BruisedOrange. I had a few takes I liked better.

Killer lineup. #BarryGray is a winner of the NC Songwriter Fellowship Award, #JonShain was the winner of the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, and EScottWarren is a grad of the prestigious N Texas State jazz program, with an eye-popping resume.

JOHN PRINE
John Prine
2020 U.S. reissue

A little afternoon lunch with the late great John Prine. My original U.S. pressing has been played so much and been through hell over the years, to the point where its pretty much unlistenable. So I bought this reissue & am very pleased with how it sounds. Great mastering, super clean sound.
John was an absolute master storyteller. Even though songwriters and musicians recognize his brilliance, he’s still very underrated.

I f’n love John Prine music. I feel so sad he’s gone, being the first notable (in my sphere) casualty of Covid-19. I was going to see him play at #Pickathon that summer. #JohnPrine #music https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkz8TnVQSOQ&feature=share

Celebrating #JohnPrine!

"I said, "You must know the answer"
She said, "No, but I'll give it a try"
And to this very day, we've been livin' our way
Here is the reason why
We blew up our TV
Threw away our paper
Went to the country
Built us a home
Had a lot of children
Fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own"

Another from our pandemic video series. A great #JohnPrine tune. This was yet another live tribute show that got moved to an online performance. Because we cut it in the studio we could spice it up a little.

I’m playing my #Stratocaster converted to a #steelguitar.

As usual, everyone cut their own audio and video at home and I mixed and stitched everything together.
