Day 4:
We laid down some drum tracks for a couple more songs, that may or may not make it onto this release (a new version of Waterfall -- originally recorded on Reason -- and a cool, totally different version of Lord, I Lift Your Name on High that you may have heard if you've been to an acoustic show recently). With all the drums done (Great Job, RON!!!), Gigs (Joe Gorgolione) finished up all the bass guitars -- all before lunch!

After lunch, it got LOUD!! Guitars, guitars, guitars, guitars and guitars -- Eli threw down tons of awesome guitars - thick & juicy, nice & tasty, totally rockin' guitar parts. Did I mention that we couldn't hear anything but GUITAR all day?!?!? Of course, Eli was like "Well, you know the best sound from these amps is only possible when the amp is turned up to at least ELEVEN!!!"

Day 5:
The only thing left to do was finish the rest of the guitars. So, Eli turned up the amps EVEN LOUDER and cranked on them until our special guest came. Billy Smiley brought in a BIG HITTER for us to help out with guitar tones, ideas and even throw down some licks -- George Cocchini (seriously check him out on Google and Wikipedia)!! I have to say that it was awesome and he was so humble! We are totally honored to have him be a part of these recordings!

Day 6:
We made some mixes to take home and hit the road - driving straight through from Nashville, TN, to home, sweet home -- aka Dirty Jersey!!! ;-)

SIDE NOTES:
Eli is posting Vlogs (video blogs) of our time in Nashville so be sure to check them out on our YouTube channel or on the band's Facebook page!!!!! There should be an interview with Billy Smiley (our producer) up soon!
