I was in Ruffy. I thought I'd like to record a country song.
I wanted to try some slide guitar, and also to use my little smokey amp.
I recorded an egg shaker, and a broom, inspired by having seen Neil Young use this technique on an MTV Unplugged performance. :)
I also added guitar played with a cello bow to give it more country vibe!
Here is an older sketch of the song recorded on a Zoom H4 multitrack thing, while I was in NZ in my hire car, I think! It's got more of a wistful, perhaps sorrowful vibe. I guess "melancholy" would probably feel more apt, actually.
