about

This is track #2 for the Shut In Singles Series
When you are lucky enough to have your own recording studio like I have with Tim Hatfield since 1999 sometimes you just get the guys over there and record a tune or two. I always really loved this song that Neil Young put on his Eldorado EP which was released only for a short time in 1989 only in Japan and Australia before he pulled the record from the market. I wanted to record it with my guys using a different kind of setup. Singing in the room where my little Supro amp was blasting. This was recorded at the first location of Cowboy Technical Services on Hope Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn sometime around 2001. This was back before anyone even thought that area could ever become 'fancy'. The cops called it "No Hope Street". Our first location was a shared situation with the band Martin's Folly. The Folly's guitar player Chris Gray had bought my '72/54 Les Paul Custom and kind of "Neil-ized it with a Bigsby B7 and a Firebird pickup. He lent it to me for this song. We only played it once. Here it is for you as part of the Shut In Singles Series.
