In the backyard- dogs are barking, neighbor is running the chainsaw, and I’m playing a song and drinking a beer.
My friend Jamie Lin Wilson just released a great new album, and it’s called Holidays and Wedding Rings. It’s a beautiful and interesting collection of songs – full of heart and wisdom.
Holidays & Wedding Rings has: moving and intimate portraits of family life, characters looking for love or something like it, good old fashioned crime stories, and songs of endurance in the face of adversity. Yep, it’s got lo-fi love, AND hi-fi love.
A few months ago, Jamie told me the story of one of her family members who got to look back on several decades of life in a conversation with a younger family member, all with full knowledge and lucidity that the end was in sight.
We wrote a song about the situation, so, here today, from the backyard, is “Here Tonight.”
