HEADS UP!

I’m releasing a digital-only single called Grinnin’ In Your Face in 3 DAYS on Black Friday (11/25/11), and here’s the best part: It’s FREE! That’s right; on the most capitalistic day of the year, I’m giving away music that I definitely paid money to make! You can thank me later.

This single features stripped-down acoustic and voice performances by yours truly of two blues tunes; the traditional “Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dyin’ Bed”, and Son House’s “Grinnin’ In Your Face”.

So, at the stroke of midnight this Friday, you can download the music in any high-res format of your choice for free from my personal Bandcamp page.

Grinnin’ In Your Face was recorded and mixed by Scott Solter at Baucom Road, and mastered by Jason Ward at Chicago Mastering Service. Art and design was championed by Nicole Blackburn.

It’s likely that I’ll press this single to 7” vinyl at some point down the road, but for now, enjoy the digital release. Please spread the word about this free download to everyone you know, and don’t say I never gave you anything! 

i’m still here, i promise.
