GENUINE Wild Ass American Moose!

Last night, Danny Bond and I sat on the porch and worked on a new tune - "Genuine Wild Ass American Moose!" This is based on a true story. A few years ago a guy walked right up to me and a friend at Bootsie's in Ponchatoula and just started telling us about his trip to Colorado. He hauled ass back to Louisiana after a "Genuine Wild Ass American Moose" ran right through the camp he was staying at. That was all he needed to see of Colorado! Funniest shit I had heard in a long time. I've retold the story on several occasions and it always makes people laugh.  So, last night, it came out just right as a storytelling kind of song...I'll be playing it tonight at my solo gig at The RiverShack Tavern in NOLA...should be fun!

Back in the Studio!

Feels great to get back to recording! Been wanting to lay down some new (and old) songs ever since we finished the last EP, and we are finally getting the opportunity tonight! Drew Vonderhaar over at Pottersfield Productions in helping us out once again. And Naomi at Sazerac Design will be heading up Art Direction. This time, we are going for a more authentic, rootsy sound. We will be recording live with just the band playing in the round, like at any other practice or gig.

We'll see what we capture, but I feel like it's gonna be pretty good! I'll keep ya'll posted!
