This a here is the forum for the debut CD from Little Gray House, 'Howlin' Moon'. We'll be recording up the North Shore, living room style, with Jake Larson at the board. The tracks:

Howlin' Moon / Kick the Kitchen Chair / Leave a Light On / Every Single Night / Just Hold On, Sweetheart / Woman is the Prey / I've Seen Things / In The By and the By / A Broken Heart / Spring Ain't Here Yet / My Lord He Knows Me By Name

And the band:

Marc Gartman- bouzouki / Sophie Karakatsoulis- violin / Stephanie Tresidder- bass / Crystal Glowacki- autoharp

This is a fun little band we've got here. We've been friends for a while and just totally randomly we decided to start a band together. I don't remember why. Maybe cause it's a fun thing to do. I wrote the songs pretty fast, I wanted to be up and running pretty quick. Everyone is doing a great job and I look forward to putting this CD together for sure. We'll record it in the ladies home just like I've done with Jake Larson before. As Bob Dylan once said, 'that's the way to make a record, in a house with a dog running around'. He said something like that…

things moving along all nicely. the johnson family are adding some real nice touches, i think it's going to be one of my favorite cd's i've done and i didn't really plan on that happening. it just sort of did. most stuff i do sort of makes sense from what came before it but this one came out of nowhere. i guess the gartband disc from last year was similar to this in that it just sort of appeared and then boom it was done.

we record in a few weeks; quick, painless, live. sitting on couches in the little gray house up the northshore. cd release show at the top of june pending any disasters.

well this monday is the final mixing/mastering session for the CD and you know how i know that? cause i feel ill when i think about listening to it anymore. a couple more tweaks and then i vacate it from me.

i think actually for me at least that's the point when i know i'm done working on a cd. the thought of doing more to it gives me a headache.

it's been a ton of fun producing the cd though. i've had some wonderful walks with my headphones on listening to what we got on this one, the overdubs that were added, etc. it's been a real unique adventure for me putting this one together and hopefully folks will get a chance to listen to it. it's unusual and worth a spin.

cd release end of august.
