Blues and Twisted Americana
Jim sez;
This album
has stuff from my studio in the North Florida woods between February and
September
2015 with the fabulous guitarist Brett
Gardner, teenage wonder Kayla
Williams
on the entire string quartet, veteran reed man Jeff
Drawbaugh, and funky fiddler Don
Austin. My neighbor, TD
Giddings came over to help me with the title track, and Mike Stone brought his kit down for a
session where he and I tracked Young Girl Said Goodbye. The other
tracks are
from the Pat Ramsey Festival Benefit at the Bradfordville Blues Club
near
Tallahassee, Florida in November 2016 where the Jim
Crozier Band played a set that was captured by the never
failing Walter Potter. On that
occasion the band consisted of Chris
Skene and Ben Banks on
guitars, John Babich on keys, and Mike Stone on the kit. After I messed
around with the mix for a while, I finally sent it off to Pete Winter at Winterstone Sound in
Tallahassee where he did his
magic. After that it was down to finding what to put on the cover, so I
went
through my photo library and found this beautiful old cypress tree on
the
Econfina River in Taylor County, Florida. Thanks to Jessica
Gaboury for taking that photo of me early in this century
that became my logo.
1 Ain’t No
Use (6:07)
This is a
live track from the Pat Ramsey Festival Benefit of 2016 at the
Bradfordville
Blues Club near Tallahassee, Florida. On this track Jim is playing the
Gold
Tone Micro Bass and singing with his last breath – he was hospitalized
a few
days later. Ben Banks is playing guitar and singing backup, Chris Skene
is
playing guitar, John Babich is on the keys, and Mike Stone on the kit.
2 Young
Girl Said Goodbye (3:18)
The
original track on this was laid down March 22, 2015 in Jim’s studio
with Mike
Stone on the kit and Jim on guitar and vocal. Jim then added the Fender
P bass
and sent the track to Brett Gardner who recorded the lead guitar part
in his
bedroom.
3 A Cup of
Coffee (4:08)
The original
track was done in February 2015 by Jim playing guitar and singing, and
then
adding bass. Brett Gardner came down for a session to play guitar that
June, Jeff
Drawbaugh played soprano sax in July, and Don Austin played violin and
viola
September 2015.
4 Back to
Plan A (3:38)
This was
tracked with Jim and Mike Stone on the 3/22 session. Jim added bass and
Jeff
Drawbaugh played Clarinet.
5 Saint
James Infirmary (5:16)
It was on
the set list for the BBC show.
6 Hymn to
Opportunity (3:48)
Jim did
the original guitar and vocal track on February 20, 2015 and then added bowed
bass
viol. Kayla Williams played viola in May, Brett Gardner played guitar
in June,
and Don Austin played a second viola part in September.
7 The Cat
Song (7:05)
This was
from the BBC show.
8 Not
Forever (4:12)
The
original guitar and vocal track was from Jim’s 2/20/2015 session. In May,
Kayla
Williams played all of the string parts: violin, viola, and cello from
parts
that Jim had arranged. Jim came back to play the NS Designs NXT
Electric Upright
Bass the next day. Then Brett Gardner played guitar in June, and Jeff
Drawbaugh
played clarinet in July – such sweetness.
9 What You
Want (2:56)
This was
tracked in April 2015 with TD Giddings on lead guitar and Jim on vocal
and P
bass. Jim added a second guitar. That’s pretty much all that happened
to that
track.
