Anthony Davis showed up today at I Don't Wanna Go Down To The Basement Studios to record his song for the upcoming compilation Anywheresville. In a three hour session, we were able to record basic tracks for 3 songs. The stand-out track is "Beautiful Love" from these sessions. We got a really intimate acoustic sound for this track and Anthony double tracked the vocal while singing in the closet. Hey, it worked. The other tunes we tracked were an instrumental and a miniature version of "Beautiful Love", which will probably be left without vocals as well.
Then, we tackled the Skinny Mulligans' version of "Stairstep To Abandon". Anthony was asked to complete the song by adding a nice guitar solo to the end of the song. We also doubled up Vinny G's rhythm guitar for extra width. I felt the session was going well so I suggested he add two separate solos on the song, rather than just one. Mission accomplished. Anthony is a true pro in the studio.
At the end the session, Anthony and I agreed to begin work on his record. It will be a 5-6 song EP, mostly acoustic in origin. I will be behind the controls for this project and look forward to a winter full of great new music making.
