"THEY DANCE REAL CLOSE THERE," STUDIO RUN-THROUGH, VIDEO EXCERPT, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA

Video of Karl in the studio, guitar break during run-through of "They Dance Real Close There." Danny McKenna, drums, Ben Franz, bass. Producer Jeff Lang caught a brief excerpt on his phone, showing Danny and Ben playing. I'm outside of the shot, in the vocal booth. I asked Ben and Danny to make me sound like I wasn't just noodling, and they figured out a way to do this. The final version has a long improvised guitar solo, and the one shown here is slightly different. Ben overdubbed a beautiful pedal steel guitar track on the final, so this excerpt is different in that respect as well. It's just guitar, bass, and drums. Jeff had played me a Richard Thompson live cut a day or two earlier, with a super long guitar break that just kept building and building. This was my attempt to do something similar. (from the upcoming Karl Straub album, "Tsunami of Crumbs," engineered and produced by Jeff Lang at the Enclave Recording Facility in Melbourne, Australia.)
