LATE NIGHTS IN THE LAB:
EP NOTES: To make this recording, I made myself stare at the project studio's blank white wall for as long as I could take it. I wouldn't let myself start playing the guitar until I stopped thinking about any other music. Although I did allow myself one vague inspiration. Blind Willie Johnson's legendary guitar evangelist song, "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground." I finally told myself, either play something that is truly yours, or put the guitars back into the cases, and go home. I wanted to experience blues as it emerged. Fueled by the emotion of the moment. Not practicing it up so it's polished and rehearsed into entertainment. And what resulted was some of the most stark caustic blues I'd ever heard. Personal blues. In the middle of night. In the middle of nowhere. Or in my case, somewhere north of Seattle's Ship Canal. All tracks were spontaneously improvised. No pre-planning, arranging or rehearsing. One take. No edits or effects.
