Cold, cold, heart (and hands, and feet, and everything else)

Howdy, howdy, howdy

Just a little update, mostly to tell you I updated the Rock Bottom Revue playlist. This time I put a little more thought into it, besides just songs I like. There are a couple of songs about aging (I just had a birthday), different perspectives on loneliness, a couple that are a thematic preview of a song that'll be on my next record, a couple about the Mississippi River (which I cross every day on my way to work), and... work. (The track list is at the bottom of this post, in case you don't use Spotify).

I hope you enjoy it, I have found that I really enjoy putting it together.

In other news, I've been writing, as usual. I've finished 3 new songs so far in January. 2 of them will probably see light of day eventually. I've also spent some time learning some cover tunes. I don't do a lot of that typically, but it can be beneficial. It sometimes helps me to break out of musical patterns that I fall into, and learn some different chord progressions and tricks I might not have thought of. I've learned songs by Tom T. Hall, Billy Joe Shaver, Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, Billy Joel, and Eddy Arnold. All over the place, hahaha!

It's also officially time to get the ball rolling on album #3. I've forwarded the demos for 15 songs on to a couple of the musicians I'll be working with. No dates for anything yet, but I'm excited just to officially be moving towards the next project!
