For it’s ten year anniversary, I’ve finally master my first record for the first time!
Half of this album was recorded on a Tascam cassette tape 4-track (the recording device I used to record all of my music up to that point). Four songs into the album though, the Tascam died. When I told my brother I was heading to Guitar Center to grab another 4-track he started yelling at me. “Buy a computer!” he said. In 2009, at the age of 29, I had yet to own a computer in my life! My brother had just upgraded to some better Pro Tools gear and he said, if I bought a laptop, he could hook me up with all his old stuff, everything I needed to have Pro Tools for free. So the other half of this record was my first experience using digital recording.
10 years later, I’m still very proud of the album. Give it a spin if you haven’t listened to it in a while. And if you’ve never heard “It Rained Something Wicked” before, get ready for some zany guitar solos.
