Cosmic Glue - The magic begins

There were tears in our eyes at the closing notes of some of the new songs we were recording for 'Cosmic Glue'.

We laid down the basic tracks for nine new numbers on Monday the 18th and Tuesday the 19th of February. 

Despite the mixing desk smouldering in the early hours of Monday, we managed to patch something together with the Red River Blues sound desk and after miking everyone up we began the first sessions at around 19.00 hours on Monday...

Monday gave us some good takes, but it was Tuesday that saw us run through the numbers with complete and usable takes by nine.

Chris, Richard, Mike and Rufus gave their all...

Now the magic begins. Next Monday will be devoted to the string section and acoustic guitar overdubs, plus a couple of alternate versions of some of the new tunes.

Then I'll be working with my younger self on a handful of tracks from 1977. That's what 'Cosmic Glue' is all about.

I'd love to play you something, but I can't just yet. I'll add a few tasters in a couple of days.
