Description
Notes for the CD "December": This is a concept CD which, through a chronological arrangement of autobiographical songs, tells the story of a relationship's descent from "Summertime" to "December".
Biography of Clay Cabe: Growing up in the thick pine woods of rural southwest Arkansas, music was always my deepest love and provided me my earlieat means of expression. As an only child I spent a lot of the daylight hours playing in the dense forest around my home. But at night I would typically shut myself of in my room, writing songs and playing an autoharp to a John Denver songbook.
My piano lessons never worked well for me because I didn't like being told what to paly. But when I could be alone with my autoharp and my notebooks, I enjoyed writing my own songs, which I started doing around the age of 12. I haven't stopped playing and writing since, though my instrument has been a guitar ever since I bought one in 1990, when I was in college at SMU in Dallas,Texas. Since then I have written over 80 songs.
Immediately after college, I married a brilliant artist, with whom I moved to the mountains of Colorado, where we spent 12 years together before splitting up in December of 2002. That unexpected loss inspired me to write and record my first CD to be released. It is a 12 song collection approppriately called December, an all-accoustic project in which, through a chronological arrangement of songs, I told the story of a relationship's descent from the color and comfort of Summertime (the first track) to the dark, cold, and uncertain days of December (the last track).
My current CD project, The Underworld, is also a conceptual and autobiographical work, this one telling the unfolding drama of ascent from The Underworld of depression (the first track) into a new life in which I hope to Shine (the last track).
Whereas December was a story of descent, The Underworld is a story of ascent. It features a more funky, electric, upbeat style in general. It is dark, but accessible, and even optimistic and light at times. This current project keeps me mostly in the studio these days with my drummer and producer Ben Makinen and with my new bassist Dave Randon.
The Underworld is scheduled for release early in 2005.
