Around 2000 I had been playing with my 4 track and brought it to a friend’s house to record his visiting roommate. A simple and lovely 1-4-5 er with a lead solo over the instrumental verse coming out of the chorus.
I put some distortion on it and gave it just a wee bit of an edge. He flat out rejected that as he wanted a more “Hank Williams” sound. Not Jr., which is what I would have easily entertained and attempted. It was delicate and lovely and I just couldn’t connect to that. My body operates at a different vibration.
So, while I can listen to this record and say, “Yeah, that’s nice. That’s a-ok.” I can’t latch on to anything because even at 8 in the morning on a Saturday I need something that is at least trying to kick me in the nuts somehow.
It’s a really pretty record, though.
