Shortly after moving to Santa Fe, I met Jono Manson. We were both bent over our toddlers at a playground. We might have both been wearing red corduroy pants. The connection was quick, but we didn’t talk music until the very end when Jono mentioned casually that he had a studio up in the hills north of town. I visited that studio a week or so later and knew quickly that he and I were going to be doing a lot of work together.
The studio was called the Kitchen Sink and was set into the mountains of Chupadero, about twenty minutes above Santa Fe. There’s nothing there except a little general store fifteen minutes away. It’s just an old adobe house Jono converted into a studio surrounded by sky and sage and cactus. (The studio has since moved into an incredible spot in downtown Santa Fe. I now can bike there. It’s amazing, though I do miss Chupadero.)
I had a batch of songs that I had written when I learned we’d be moving to Santa Fe and then some that I wrote after moving. The songs, like the title track, deal with the desert and the lack of rain. That was pretty overwhelming when I arrived. Still is.
Several, like the opening track “Back to Blue” and “Oh, The Hedges are High” look at getting older, evolving and maturing love. And I think all the songs probably address surviving hardship (“Song for the Road” is probably the best example of that). How do we find hope and joy in the face of struggle?
I brought in Bill Titus and Jordan Katz to the studio for a few days. The three of us had been touring heavily together and had worked out a sound that I was pretty into. Jordan, of course, plays banjo and trumpet; and Bill does things with a guitar that no one else I know does. We wanted this record to be different than my previous ones. Less polished. Less produced. We wanted it to represent what we were doing out on the road. We recorded it in three long days.
Mixing didn’t take a whole lot longer. The three of us played everything. Bill even sat behind the drums on “Song for the Road.”
I love this record. It’s intimate and very personal. As the title might suggest, I think it feels like you’re almost inside my head as you listen, or at least you’re inside the adobe room up in the mountains that we recorded in.
