about

Here be the last salvageable bits of the backlog I've been working through during quarantimes, reanimated from ancient hard drives and more recent cassette tapes...

The instrumental tracks of Blue-Blooded Reds (featuring drums by Ben Engel) date from the sometime in 2013 and were recorded with Jeremy Backofen during the sessions for what became "Where Do You Think We Should Live." The song is a bit older than that though... I know from garage band demo archeology that I've had the opening riff kicking around since at least senior year of college. Listening back to the demo reveals that the ocarina parts were already there, fully formed. The chorus however, is a recent addition as of the last couple of years.

Backpack People is a song by one of my favorite songwriters Chris Weisman, originally released in 2015 on his excellent LP "The Holy Life That's Coming." It's something of an outtake from my Aquarium Drunkard "Lagniappe Session." Because of the lyrical content, I thought it would be a nice companion to "Since I Was Born," seeing as they're both, more or less, songs concerned with dispossession and itinerancy. Unfortunately, I could get the chords into my hands and brain thoroughly enough to play through the song on piano so I shelved it and went with the Carole King tune instead.
