The Bullet and the Murder Ballad

Posted By from November 9, 2009

Yesterday we started recording guitar parts for a murder ballad that will be on the new One-Eyed Doll album, and it became very clear to me that I needed a special instrument..

Jason and I spent much of the evening and the next afternoon on the hunt [if i may] for the right bullet shell. We scoured Austin for crime scenes, gun shops and shooting ranges and finally found the right one: a silver Winchester. We went back to the studio and played around with it on the guitar - got some sweet tones for the song... As it turns out, a bullet makes a sick slide.

I'm saving the murder ballad bullet to give it away in a contest later on that I'll likely host at the official fan club... Join the fan club to have the chance to win it...

Love and Murder Ballads,
