Hopefully the formatting doesn't get too screwed up in transit. Alan Well, im on another airplane...going from DFW to NYC...headed to the premier of "We Own The Night"....why, u ask? Am i in the film or associated with it in ANY way? The answer would be no....i just happen to be in town for a show, and thought getting gussied up and seeing a flick might be fun....Ty is not so sure, but hes coming anyway....the show im in NYC for, and performing in, is on Wed night...it is a "guitar pull" and raising money for the country music hall of fame....what is a Guitar Pull u ask? It is when 4 or 5 artists sit in a row or semi circle on stage and taki turns playing songs and telling stories...its fun...nothing planned, just impromptu- right up my proverbial alley....the other artists on the bill r Trisha Yearwood, John Rich (of Big and Rich- ive been producing my next album with him....hes very talented) Vince Gill and Patty Griffin...(some of u may remember patty from my Jewelstock show AGES ago....she came out and played, much to everyones delight- a strong-ass singer! And a strong ass writer...her cd's r good, and she also gets her songs covered by other artists...) guest artists will be Shawn Colvin and 'newcomer' Taylor Swift (u guys should check her out- shes great and i hear shes quite popular on myspace...) Anyway, im pretty excited to hear all these folks sing... The stewardess just gave me warm nuts...YUM! ....What else.....oh! my new cd is done...just gotta mix it...and name it...i SUCK SUCK SUCK at naming cd's....always have been! It is always the last thing to come to me- (usually under the pressure of many threats and deadlines)....i dont know what the heck to call it....i was thinking of calling it "Home," cause the songs are about how i grew up in alaska, and the kind of music i grew up on like Loretta Lynn and Merle Haggard, and also about where my home is now.....i dunno....i had so much fun making this one- i made it on my own (no label) just me and John goofing off...i payed for the whole thing, so i got to do whatever the heck i like (which ive always been able to do, but somehow not having a label has made it fun again). I have been hunting for labels in nashville- did i mention i LOVE nashville? I really could live there in a heartbeat...my kind of people...lots of writers...lots of live music and me and my friends get up and jam with local bands...lots of songwriters showcases...everyone is professional and friendly....and talented, so no need for all the posing and posturing....i hate that stuff....this will make at least the 3rd record ive made there....i cant wait for u guys to hear what ive been writing....maybe i will sneak u all some acoustic versions of songs- that way u can pass em around without it hurting anything! I was torn for a while about whether to even use a label again- but i still think radio is a good way to get records heard, and labels r still good at getting songs played at radio (especially in the country market) so i think i will taki another stab at it....i feel so at home in the 'country format' its not really a change for me...i get to do stuff ive written my whole life- and its about the last place u can be a story teller...some of my favorite songs ive written over the years, like "Rosey and Mick" and "Perfectly Clear" will finally make a cd....and- there will even be a bit of yodeling... Ok, the choice for food is chicken salad or pizza....crap! So, what r u guys up to? Hows everyone doing? Hows work...family....kids? Wait- who r we liking in the presidential race? Who is ur favorite republican and your favorite democrat? Who do u guys believe? I like to try to pick one candidate from each party that i can believe at least somewhat- i always find myself wishing i could Frankenstein several candidates from several parties together to make one perfect leader....oh well... What else....i guess thats it...i will let u know how the show goes....im gonna eat some pizza....xxjewel ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2007 22:59:32 -0300 From: Fjjordao Subject: Re: [EDA] Jewel's latest blog Finally SOMETHING!!!
