TUNES THAT SEEK YOUR EARS
TUNES THAT SEEK YOUR EARS
ARTIST STATEMENT
For this recording I have tried to play without thinking too hard, experimenting until I captured something cohesive. In doing this, I discovered even more for myself what kind of journey these tunes could take me on, and I wonder if they will take you somewhere interesting, too, as you listen. It is also an experiment, releasing music to you in this way. If the internet can be a great tool for broadcasting, I wonder if this a good way to do it.

TRACKS LIST
Leather Britches
Not actually about pants, it’s about beans that look like pants. Naturally!
Wagoner’s Lad
This tune is more commonly known as Jack of Diamonds, but I first heard the John Hartford version with the Wagoner’s Lad lyrics: Oh your parents don’t like me / I’m poor they are told etc.
Fire on the Mountain
Probably an old flute march that got faster and more notey over time in our country.
Maiden’s Prayer
Originally a Classical waltz that was adapted and made its way into Bob Wills’ repertoire while he was working as a barber in New Mexico.
Wouldn’t Trade It Away
Something blues-based I came up with for this set.
