The book is called “Owning It All” and for me it was a deeply affecting work. Throughout it Kittredge celebrates the hardscrabble, wide-screen landscape of this Southeastern Oregon desert county where he was raised, while at the same time he atones for and criticizes the devastation several generations of his ranching family unleashed upon that land. It is a tragic and cautionary tale that reminds us that the land we think we own can turn back on us, and that we are all more vulnerable and connected to the forces of nature than we care to admit. I thought I should someday write and sing a collection of Harney County songs. With this new album I finally got around to doing just that. Most of the songs on this album came alive when I was fashioning the sounds and words for the last Walkabouts record “Travels in the Dustland”. They are in some ways of a piece with the “Dustland” songs, but even then I knew they needed to be in a different pile. They are less about musical gestures and more about what is being sung. And while the songs for “Travels in the Dustland” were also desert songs, their landscapes were abstract and mythical. Here the events and characters are imagined but the places are real and the roads are ones I have driven myself. I wanted a sense of both rawness and restraint in the recordings for this album. I felt those qualities were already imbedded in the songs and that the musical performances should also reflect them. The upright bass player Iga Golob and I played the songs live and unadorned for two days in a sprawling, reverberant studio on the outskirts of Prague. The room can hold an 80-piece orchestra and there we were, just the two of us face-to-face in the middle of the floor, dwarfed and a bit awed by our surroundings. Given the subject matter of the songs, this somehow felt correct. Ziga brought the essential pulse and dialogue to these performances and I couldn’t have done this record without him. Milan Cimfe joined us as both the recording engineer and as our occasional drummer. My wife Anda sang backing vocals on two songs, Paul Austin added electric guitar to “The Carnival Smoke” and my old friend Terry Lee Hale played distorted harmonica on “Many Moons.” I originally imagined this record sounding like “Nebraska” if it had been a Dub album. We didn’t quite end in that place but I would guess that small remnants of that idea remain. What has been left out of this music is arguably more important than what has been added to it. The space is there so that the stories have ample room to breathe. And finally, now that the album is done, I think I can move on and find a new place about which to obsess. – Chris Eckman/Ljubljana/Sept. 2013 Artist Chris Eckman Label Glitterhouse Buying Options 180g 1LP Gatefold Sleeve Includes Download Code Format 180g , 1LP , Gatefold Sleeve , Includes Download Code Condition New Country UK Genre Rock And Pop Track Listings 01.Nothing Left To Hate 02 The Conifer Smoke 03 Requiem For The Old Skool Heavy 04 Katy Cruel 05 Sound Of No Return 06 Many Moons 07 Rock Springs 08 Ghosts Along The Border Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Chris Eckman and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Chris Eckman Where The Spirit Rests Rock And Pop | Glitterhouse | 1LP Released 4th June 2021 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Chris Eckman Where The Spirit Rests £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Glitterhouse SKU: GRLP1032 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Current Joys LOVE + POP Rock And Pop | Secretly Canadian | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd November 2023 £23.00 - £24.00 Select options Current Joys LOVE + POP £23.00 - £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Secretly Canadian Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd November 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Puma Blue In Praise Of Shadows (B-Sides & Live Versions) Rock And Pop | Blue Flowers | 1LP Released 19th August 2022 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Puma Blue In Praise Of Shadows (B-Sides & Live Versions) £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Blue Flowers SKU: BFMLP001VX Formats: 1LP Released Date: 19th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Panic!
