New Record

New Record
Hi Kids,
I just wanted to say hello to all of you and I wanted to give you an update as to what is going on in my little world. First and foremost, I finally began recording my new album this week at the wonderful Type Foundry (Studiohttp://www.norfolkandwestern.org/typefoundrystudio/studio.html) and boy.... I am extremely excited with the sounds that we have been able to get so far. Don't even get me started on how great the gear and people are at this place.
This record is reuniting me with the my original band mates from the days of yore and boy let me tell you it's nice to be home again. The band this time around is Joe Chiusano on bass, Dan Eccles(Richmond Fontaine) on Guitar and Scott Mcpherson(Elliott Smith, Neil Finn) on drums.We are attempting to take more of a live approach to recording the album, so we hope that this will keep the proceedings as raw and spontaneous as possible. We are producing this album ourselves with the help of our good friend Adam Selzer(Norfolk and Western, M. Ward) and we hope to have the album out by the end of 2007 or early 2008. The working title for the album is True Instigator and the following are the songs that we are recording for this record:
True Instigator/ Wander/ Sympathy Street/ Castro and the Gun/ The Saddest Girl in Town/ Kissing the Lips of God/ Strange Look in Your Eyes/ At the Worlds End/ Selos/ Apology to a Bartender/ Last days Waltz/ Forgotten Town/ Time is Short/Awkward
We are also recording a cover of Hank Williams Sr( AKA Luke the Drifer) song Angel of Death and we are re-recording a couple of older songs for this record....Beautiful(with full band) and Wisemen(from Pacoima)
ok...joe just showed up to take me to the studio so until next time.
Take care,
Fern
