Down Low 08:34
lyrics
LYRICS: Sometimes you play a hand and it turns it all upside down I've got a real bad feeling that they're coming for me now Said don't you hear the tires burning up to the house Hear them call my name but I just can't go Don't you know I've got to lay down low Don't you know I've got to lay down low Lay down low, lay down low A rendezvous arranged by cell got the marker placed I hear them at the front door I leave as I hear it break Veiled by the darkened shadow I make a slow retreat All those fools a chasing think they're in the know Slipped past in the night just to lay down low Slipped past in the night just to lay down low Lay down low, lay down low Slipped past in the night just to lay down low Once again, I'm running like the Devil in the dark of night Kill the lights my friend and throw it into four-wheel drive These woods and roads I've known just about all of my life This here truck can motor but it goes too slow Don't you know I've got to lay down low Lord, don't you know I've got to lay down low Lay down low, lay down low Don't you know I've got to lay down low Sometimes you play a hand and nothing ends turning right But just past the state line, there's an airstrip dark as night Gotta, load the cargo, sit back as we take flight Jet plane take me to where I want to go Because I got to leave the ground so I can lay down low I said I got to leave the ground so I can lay down low Lay down low, lay down low I got to leave the ground so I can lay down low Got to leave the ground behind Got to leave Got to kiss the sky

about

At the end of summer in 2021, I took off performing to bring two of my favorite musicians over to jam. Mike Hunt (drums) and Mike Pritchard (keys) came into the studio on September 19 for a few hours of experimentation. The goal was to remove the click track from the equation and rely solely on the drummer's natural tempo. I taught them some new songs and just hit record. We did 2 quick back-to-back takes of about 4 songs, broke for dinner, and thought nothing of it.

The following day I gave the tracks and takes a listen. It was unbelievable, everything felt good, was loose, and had a sweet groove. I did some instrumental overdubs to hold onto the momentum and cut vocals during a marathon session. After the last vocal take, I went for a surf with the kids.

It's the people who make this session was so important. They live in the pocket, are my partners in crime, they help pave 2022's creative path. They helped evolve the way I think about recording and songwriting. I dedicate this EP to my brothers.
