Description
This album has been in the works since the ink was still drying on my 2003 release 'file under agrarian'. On FUA I felt like I had to get it all out -- all my influences, genres, and styles -- and I feel I accomplished that. FUA was a great introduction to all the kinds of music I love. I knew that the next project would be more focused, keeping the same soul.
So we come to Medication I had moved to Nashville in 2003 and had recorded quite a bit of demos, written new songs and re-hashed old ones. In early 2006 I had some conversations with Will Sayles, a great guy with a passion for creating, producing, and recording music. He and I started going over different songs that I had in my collection of demos, and we decided on 10 that we thought were cohesive, focused, and had a lot of soul. I wanted the album to be as organic as possible, with more of a capturing-the-moment feel rather than a stuffy studio impression. So we started tracking the first song, Feel of Desperation, with guitar, vocals, and piano. Everything fell into place, and as the song progressed, Will and I knew that what we were capturing was the beginning of the album that would be Medication.
We recorded at the Smoakstack in Nashville from March to August 2006, working around each others schedules, with an army of like-minded musicians walking in to do their part. Chris Carmichael lent his talents with string arrangements and performances on two tracks. Ben Shive, Ian Fitchuk, and Cason Cooley contributed on Keyboards. Tony Lucido and Park Chisolm held down the low end with their bass expertise. Faith Gilmore sang along with me on Shackled, and Brent Clifton harmonized with me on four other songs. Claire Indie played cello on 'Anyway'. Will and I played a little too.
In the end, I feel like this album is what I wanted it to be: an organic, soulful collection of music that I hope you will enjoy hearing as much as I did recording it.
