Info for album: chimney cats (feat. Paul)
This album features special guests Tim Odell on bass and Paul Tuckey on guitar. It was recorded in Tim's house in Kent, England, UK. The first 9 songs were recorded live on Saturday night, 6 March 2010. The remaining 6 songs were recorded live on Sunday morning, 7 March 2010. Recorded with two AT2020 mics, one pointed towards Tim's bass amp, the other pointed toward Andy and Paul on acoustic guitars. Andy carried those mics and an M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB interface with him from Ithaca to Heathrow airport. The FastTrack was plugged into Tim's Apple Mac mini and recorded with GarageBand. Andy's playing Tim's acoustic guitar and Paul's playing Andy's Backpacker on all tracks except "kitty" and "sooty", when they swapped. Tim's playing bass through a small practice amp. "Sweet Thing" is a Van Morrison cover. "Jericho" and "what is it you need?" are two songs Paul wrote in 1987 and recorded with Andy and Tim (see Warren Road Studios). Another old tune, "gravity is getting me down" is an Andy band tune written while Andy lived in London with Paul in 1986. Apparently, "the burning desert sky" was an old, unfinished song of Paul's from ~20 years prior, too. The rest were improvised on the spot. Andy does most of the singing, but Tim and Paul jump in here and there. Tim and SherryAnn's cat really did crawl around the fireplace insert up into the chimney! Andy mixed the tracks down in Logic Pro back in mangobananas studios, Vermont.
