MP3 Charlie Bookout Studio Works - The Longsuffering of K
10 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Adult Contemporary, ROCK: Adult Alternative Pop/Rock
Details:
The tracks on this CD are all derived from two recent events in my life: Falling in love with the woman who would become my wife, and discovering that the most honest poets are in grade school.
The Longsuffering of K…
‘Longsuffering’ is an old-school word meaning: ‘forgiving,’ ‘selfless,’ ‘patient.’ Whether she would admit it or not, my wife Kendra has a saintly patience for her students, and for me.
I dedicate this album to her.
A little history...
Back in the 80s, there was a microscopic town in rural Arkansas where life was simple. If you could learn how to spit and take the ditch to run over a possum with your pickup, you were a man. There were no other rights of passage. But something weird happened. There was a group of kids who wanted more. They were all born with an inexplicable desire to create (visit https://www.tradebit.com for more of that story).
My own story involved some of the most primitive lo-tech multi-track recording imaginable. (Step #1: Start off by placing a $2 microphone up to a speaker that is playing the drum pattern you recorded. Step #2: Run the mic into a 2nd tape deck while you play a keyboard part to merge with it. Step #3: Put the 2nd tape into the first deck and repeat the process with a third instrument. Presto! You''re your own one-man-band!) But I moved forward, figuring that must be how the pros did it, and started composing. I wrote song after song firmly rooted to the influences of the 1970''s progressive rock of Kansas, the modern funk of Prince, and the whatever of Saturday morning School House Rock cartoons.
So I''ve patched up this old record, and here it is for sale. Hope you think it sounds as cool as I do. (Remember, if you buy it, you could be helping a kid by a tuba.)
