Details:
I produced the Butch Hornsby recordings with Don Chesson, Jr., at Malaco Studios in Jackson, Mississippi, in the early 70s. We had great players on that session like Carson Whitsett, keyboards, James Stroud, drums, Randy Jackson, bass, and Courtney Westbrook and Hal Ellis, guitars. I used a Jackson-based gospel group, the Jackson Southernaires, on backing vocals, and the Memphis Horns played the horn charts.
I produced the Will Kimbrough recordings in Nashville in 2009. Will played all instruments and sang the lead vocals. I wanted to produce these new versions of Butch''s songs as sparely as possible to showcase the poignancy and emotional power of his lyrics.
Duke Bardwell graciously allowed me to use two of his recordings of Butch''s songs. Duke and Butch were very close over the years, and he is an important character in the book. (He also produced Suddenly
Single for RCS in the late 70s.) It''s Real is a studio recording he did in Austin, Texas, at Merle Brigante''s studio, with Merle on drums and his studio rhythm section. Duke''s live recording of Dirtdobber Blues was made on a recent gig in Birmingham, Alabama. I left in Duke''s spoken word intro from that performance because he introduces it with a story of how Butch came to write Dirtdobber Blues. There aren''t very many songs written from the POV of an insect, so I thought a little back story would be helpful.
