We just finished up our second day of recording the TUXEDO! album. One more day to go. I dressed appropriately for today’s session…

…and I look pretty wiped!  It’s been go go go for the last ten days in my world.  But that only helps with the frantic energy of this album.

If you know my music at all, this album will probably surprise you.  It’s pretty nutty guitar music.

Here’s an outtake/false start captured on my phone (don’t worry – the album will sound much clearer than this!)…

That’s one of the two original tunes I wrote for the album. Well, it’s the first “A” section, anyway!  Joey did the bulk of the writing (six tunes!), and we recorded four cover tunes (all Jimmy Bryant).

Tomorrow will be the third and last day of the recording.

Wish me luck!
