Greybyrd and The Office Call Sessions
Today marks the finish date of my album. My showboatin' name is Greybyrd, and the album is called "The Office Call Sessions." Four songs off this seven song EP will be on Cnet Download dot com. So you can wait for them to go up on that site, or if you want to support me, send five bucks for a cd of your own. I'll put up the lyrics somewhere (maybe here) if people want them, and I'll put the link to where you can download the tunes in my link bar on the side.
Musically, the album is very mellow, running in the same vein as Iron & Wine, Nick Drake, Bruce Cockburn and Wilco. The guitar is mostly fingerpicking with some leads and keyboards. The vocals are soft and (dare I flatter myself) adequate. Overall I'm content with it.
Recording during these sessions wasn't that bad. Much of the album was recorded in one take, which surprised me. Special thanks goes out to Z3R0 (a true badass) for engineering and mixing my album for me. Additionally, Z3R0 did some nice vox and keyboard work and kept me on a strict regimen of T-bell and a crap-load of good anime. Also thanks to the Croe and Broker for support in person and spirit.
Tracklist:
Far Too Much
Across The Border
Falling/Ascending
Buddy Lists, Etc.
Break Even
Rainy Day Emily
Lunita
I plan to record some more in June, so I'll keep you posted. I have new stuff I'm working on all the time.

So I figured I should post on your Blog. So now you can see that I, too have two (actually, three) blogs. Woo-hoo. Later man.
where you been?
silliman
Yeah damn it, I want music, free or no, and I can't very well give you $5 for a CD from 70 miles away.
I made my mother listen to your CD today. So I'll have $5 for you from my mother next time I'm in town.
If you write down the stories behind the songs for her she might even throw in a pie or a cake or some other bit of yummy Jewish Mother cooking.
Amber, he wrote some of the stories with the lyrics over @ http://greybyrd.blogspot.com/
I'm just touched that she actually wants one. She doesn't even know me.
Dumbass, she doesn't want the album because you are a friend of ours...it's because it is a good album with some great music on it.
Damn it, I want the music, and am more than willing to pay for them. So, Paypal? or something? Or just email them to me as attachments with the promise of future payment?
Well, I can email them to you if you'd like. My email is KetchSterling@Gmail.com, so email me there and I'll send the files one by one.
