"The Alabama Sound & Parlor feels like somewhere you might find your great aunt dipping s***f and devouring steamy Harlequin novels tucked inside a Faulkner book jacket. It's magical."

Songs are church. Sounds dramatic & pretentious, I know. But somehow there are these 3-minute mystical mixes of words & music that feel as big and powerful as religion. Only without all the baggage. Does that make any sense to you? If so, welcome to church.

is like our own Elf on the Shelf. Every time I come in the studio, she’s doing something questionable. Just walked in on her singing ‘s “Case of You” in her birthday suit.

Psyched to be working on a new, and long overdue, record from Michael Goldsmith! First saw him perform in the late 90s at ‘s City Stages. A veteran singer-songwriter, Goldsmith headlined lots of stages before also becoming a priest. These days, you can find him dropping Steve Earle lyrics in sermons at The Episcopal Church of the Nativity and, in his little time off, performing some of these great tunes at Green Bus Brewing in .

PS: this Martin Guitar D42 is the best sounding acoustic I’ve had the chance to record. Dang lovely.

Listen to Wanda Band when she says listen to Jayne & the Huntsmen 🙂

“Jayne & the Huntsmen have been working incredibly hard for the last couple of years and this release is just a taste of what they can do.
The themes of Jayne’s songwriting speak on human issues including experiencing emotional abuse, overcoming people pleasing behaviors, and finding yourself again after all that. This music is important and it’s coming out of north Alabama y’all!!! Give them a spin and a blow them a kiss.”

Super week of music-making with Coty Cockrell - Musician Judd Vowell - Author Jazz McKenzie Carly Parker & something special w/ Wanda Band- stay tuned to hear the goods!

03/24/2022

You can hear Alan Little Music all over town: his booming warm voice and percussive finger-picked, epic, story songs. But did you know he’s still a monster drummer?! He’s a songwriter’s drummer - listening for lyrical nuance and knowing when NOT to play as much as when to be the glue and the driver. A pleasure to work with him always!

Playing a without a strap is like holding a baby dipped in olive oil.

Just had someone in the studio pick up a high-strung / Nashville-tuned acoustic unexpectedly and describe it as “an adult with all its baby teeth” I may have blown tea out through my nose. Perfect description.
