The Guy Yells Something Stunned From His Car Songs
Details:
A friend of mine, a kid who was a student of my wife's last year in her 6th order separate asked me yesterday if ABE Next-to-last had broken up with itself (adding this last part because he knew the whole band was just me.)
When I started writing the songs it was that way, but somewhere along the lines of the first album, HOMEFI RIDE, I envisioned grand plans of ABE dominating the music scene here on Lummi Island. So I formed a band. The bass player was a noodler, the drumer was a bit klunky with a good feel for music, and the guy I got to play lead guitar had never plucked a note in his life on the thing. We practiced hard and our first gig at the Beach Store Cafe (the restaurant here on Lummi Island) had 'em hootin and hollerin'.
And that's how I'd like it to go down in the history books. Let's not even talk about our Seattle show. The band broke up. I decided to make another album. This is it.
I put way too much energy into it. Last summer was all about re-doing, and re-re-doing the vocals, never to my satisfaction. I think recording in a room with no insulation right by the road skimmed the (necessary) top part of the courage I needed to go 100%. I have one friend who likes the recording a lot, and so I put it on this site, mostly because of all the layering I did with the instruments. If you can deal with mediocre singing, you might enjoy it.
The kid asked because the ABE JR. CDs at the Islander Grocery Store have disappeared - all 4 albums. I replaced them with an album called THE HANGING CHADS. This CD and the following two ABE JR. CDs have been discontinued from the ALTIDEW roster. Kaput. Available only through CD Baby - while supplies last!
