If you’re listening to the EP and thinking, “Man, this is great!” then I’ve got good news for you: these are just the b-sides you’re listening to–the best is yet to come! If you’re listening and thinking, “This is…OK,” then I’ve also got good news for YOU: these are just the b-sides you’re listening to–the best is yet to come!
Over about a six-day period in January (with some extra days of work here and there), I went to The Pink Mailbox in Nashville and recorded 16 songs. With the incredible handiwork of Chad “The Wall” Wahlbrink as engineer/mixer/master-er, and the comprehensive overall vision of nathan stiteler as producer, we worked with about 7 other musicians to try and make my songs the best that they could be. Instead of releasing one gigantic album, we decided to release two albums. We are taking the best 12 songs from these sessions and releasing them as a full LP (April 2012), but first releasing an exclusively online EP, “Vinegar and Wine,” which includes 3 b-sides from these sessions and the first single “Dear Savannah (Vinegar and Wine).” (We cut one song altogether–it doesn’t appear on either the EP or LP).
This EP is also available on noisetrade, bandcamp, reverbnation, soundcloud, purevolume, facebook…heck, we even put it on myspace! Later this week/next week, it will be available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, last.fm, and pretty much any other medium you could imagine. I hope you enjoy listening, pass it on to your friends, and get excited for the full-length album coming this April!
