What a weekend! The band spent over 12 hours in the studio (Mighty Fine Productions) this weekend working on the debut of my first EP “Sweet Inspiration,” in memory to Miss Pattie (RIP). I’m hopeful we’ll get it done for a cd release show on Jan 20 and 27 2017.
Spending the weekend in the studio, recording for what really amounts to the first time with a full band, has given me a deeper sense of appreciation for how much work goes into records that are far denser and more layered than a single country-rock-folk release. Bravo to those who go in and lay out some of the best of the best …
There’s an excellent article in BIZWEST this week about the Bohemian Foundation’s Music District in Fort Collins that outlines the work that folks like Tom Sharf, Bryce Merrill and Jesse Elliott have undertaken .. check it out here.

VIDEO PICK OF THE WEEK
MONDAY MORNING MUSIC MEETING
I conceived of this idea as a way for you to discover some of the new music I played on the show, and to give you the chance to let me know which of the tracks you like, and think I should keep in rotation. I get a lot of feedback from fans about what’s liked .. and what isn’t.
In order to be included in the MMMM poll, the band/artist must have an embeddable file available on SoundCloud, BandCamp (my favorite), Reverbnation or YouTube.
It’s not a competition. It’s just a gauge of how well you like the songs I added this week.

The first new release for 2017 came in this week from the very enigmatic Faceman. The new album, Wild and Hunting, which took two years to produce, will officially be released in February 2017 at a location tbd – and they’re building a giant terrarium to play in. . . more details to come. The album features a special cast of characters that includes trumpeters Ron Miles, Jon Gray, and Steve Illich, trombonist David Dinsmore, saxophonist Troy Thill, pedal steel guitarist Jeff Rady, vocalists Bonnie Sims (Of Bonnie and The Clydes), Lauren Stovall (of Railspitters), and Brianna Straut (of Tomohawk Fox), and screamers Scott McCormick and Courtney Whitehead. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Colin Bricker, one of Colorado’s leading engineers and producers over the past decade plus, out of his studios at Mighty Fine Productions.
