Back in 2007, my buddy Alex Lusht, with whom I played here up until about 2003, was in town for the holidays from Cincinnati. He was working with a singer named Kinsey Rose at his Mind Ignition studios and needed some steel, I don't think they really had much of a 'budget'. I was going through some old hard drives the other day and came upon some takes for this and wondered what ever happened to it. Well, here is one of the tunes - it's definitely me, the intro is exact from take 3 and I just talked to Alex tonight, it's definitely from that session.

Whoever put it together musta' sliced and diced and pasted from a few takes, looks like I gave him 5 and I see a couple of overdubs too. I was working from a rough demo, the finished product sounds quite different. There were other tunes, but only one appears to have made it out there and it sounds like they used synth on that one instead.
Always interesting to see what happened to some of these random sessions ya' do. Things are kinda' impersonal these days - I haven't even met the singer, who I think has written some nice tunes. Looks like she's been in Nashville for quite a while now. One of these days when the pandemic craziness subsides, I'll look her up when I'm down there. |

I can't say for sure, but I don't think so. The only contact I had with any of this was one afternoon in 2007 on my 24-track machine with Alex telling me what he wanted. I worked from an early demo he gave me, which sounded quite different from what is on the version I linked in the OP. The original had more of a folk music mindset, and what I played was done in that mindset - less energetic, more placid.
The steel I gave them was pretty dry, and sounds largely unprocessed on the version I linked. I suppose they could have re-amped and processed something I did for the later version, but it doesn't sound like it to me.
I like both versions - it's a good song. I did 5 songs that day, I thought they were all good tunes. |

Very true, Dave. About 25 years ago I did some sessions for a “sound libraryâ€...instrumentals, different grooves marketed to companies for commercials. Some of the tunes featured pedal steel playing the melodies. I was paid, went home and forgot about it. About five years later I learned that one of the tunes was used in a porn video! Naked girls wearing nothing but cowboy hats, with my pedal steel playing in the background.  😬

...and boots, cowboy hats and boots. Sorry Doug, I didn't mean to stray; well, not too much. I'm going back to my corner now. |

Ha, Doug. I don't think I've ever had that happen. Far as I know, anyway.

Yeah, Alex tells me she's been pretty active down in Nashville. The version you linked sounds like a more modern Nashville treatment. There's some steel in spots, but I mostly hear fiddle, piano, and electric guitar. I guess that was from 2014, which is 7 years after I did my bit. |
