Here I am with engineer extraordinaire Zack Pancoast, in between takes at Sound Emporium in Nashville, right around this time two years ago.

During these sessions, there was a shape of a new record, hints even that it might be pretty good, but such is the nature of the old school music biz that it took until tonight to debut these songs in the city in which they came to life.

But the tunes are infused now with renewed vitality, courtesy of fans who’ve woven words and melodies into the fabric of their own omni-shifting worlds.
