Gary Comeau recorded and released "Another Broken Lullaby" in 1999. The recording was comprised of vocals and acoustic guitar, both by Gary, recorded live in a chapel. In January 2009, I took these songs and added drums, electric guitars and bass to them, plus a few little production tricks. Also a keyboard track on "Travellin' Way too Heavy." This was all done quickly and cheaply on a PC. Adding drums AFTER a song has already been recorded (without a click track!) is a recipe for disaster. Also, I'm not a drummer and I used drum pads! So the songs shuffle along haphazardly, I'm sure, and it's all kinda "washy" and lo-fi. All the same, from a creative standpoint,I'm happy with the parts I've added, and I think the songs still have a charm to them. I hope it comes through!

Story behind the song
This is the last song I added accompaniment to. I think I had gotten used to the drumming by that point. I'm sure the guitars are a little busy - there are like four Tele tracks going (besides Gary's acoustic) most of the time! The Tele provides a great country feel for this type of song, but it's somewhat cluttered, I admit. However, I managed a few neat little country style bits in there that I wouldn't normally play, and I think they sound kinda neat. Very straight ahead bass on this one.
