Locals Covering Locals Volume 2 – The New Class

Well, Sunday we wrapped up 3 sessions…adding some mandolin to one previously recorded tune and tracking 3 new ones!

One thing about this project that has been hard to foster, but when it hits is a beautiful thing, has been true collaboration in the studio. There have been a few cases over the course of these sessions where a few folks are hanging out before or after their session and hop in to add some additional flavor to a tune. I have been lucky enough to play mandolin and octave mandolin on 3 songs between volumes 1 and 2. Last Sunday was a true representation of this as Dinty Child came on up to the studio while Sarah Borges was tracking and added some beautiful pump organ and accordion parts to her take a Lemonheads tune. Borges then returned the favor lending her voice to Dinty’s take on a Sean Staples song that was incredible. The vibe outside the studio on the river was a bit spooky, and some of that vibe truly seeped its way through the window and into both of their tunes. Beautiful stuff!

So…without further adieu, the sophomore class for the Locals Covering Locals project:

But wait…volume 1 had 11 and this is only 10. Well, there may be a wildcard in there, or volume 3 may have 12 tracks. That is TBD at this point. Until then…keep on streaming and downloading volume 1!
