Thanks Olli. I did indeed play all of the bass and drums on the album.Olli Haavisto wrote:Picked this up at the Phoenix show. Great stuff, Travis!
Did you play the bass solo too??
That`s unfair already...

I appreciate the kind words Greg. I could make the case that “Lock The Door†is my favorite tune on the album. It’s tough to pick just one of your babies though.Greg Derksen wrote:It really is a great Cd, had it a week now,, just get it.
Musicality from all the players is just killer ,and songs are stellar,
Travis on all the instruments that he plays, is pretty amazing.
"Lock the door" and "Adrianna's song", are my favourite .

Thanks Joe! I actually cut drums close to last on a lot of the tunes. I recorded a good bit of the instrumentation either to just a click, or a scratch drum track. I knew I wanted to cut drums last so I could catch accents and different musical things that were happening on other instruments. If I had cut them first, I would have definitely missed out on some moments that wound up being really cool.Joe Goldmark wrote:It's funny, I was thinking how in sync the drums were with everything that Travis was doing with the sometimes weird time stretches and some of the endings. Then I read above that that's also Travis on the drums (just got the CD and haven't studied the liner notes yet). Sheesh.
Quite a steel work out, so fast and clean and in many different styles. I enjoyed his playing a couple of years ago at the Phoenix show, but this is light years beyond. Shows what a great picker can do in the studio. Oh, and Travis can play a Dobro. Scary.
Another milestone in steel guitar virtuosity. Well done Travis.
