I had spent most of the time playing electric lead guitar in various original and cover bands along the Jersey Shore. One day I decided to leave my electrics at home, grab an acoustic guitar, and head out to a swamp deep in the Pine Barrens. It was there that I wrote the material for this album.
When I emerged from the woods I had a collection of music that ranged from blues to classical to celtic to hybrids betweeen the various genres. An eclectic album to be certain. I recorded it in a home studio with a vintage reel to reel machine. The recording is not slick, but rather raw, intimate and personal. I hope you enjoy it!
