David Essig – Into The Lowering Sky

A collection of 10 songs...new, old, blue and borrowed...a Spring Bouquet, dropped and trampled by the clumsy ring-boy...we gather them up again in tears, glaring at the drunken uncle who had tripped him in the aisle...the broken glance of despair...the fragile grip of the weary hopeful.
We steer a different course on this recording, foregoing the technical security of 24 tracks and fix-it-in-the-mix. Instead, we invoke the Shroud of Memphis and set up at home. Steve plugs some good mics into a quiet board and runs directly into stereo DAT...no edits, no overdubs, no digital cut-and-paste. These are whole, live performances...what we play is what you get.
