+ | "//The Big Yellow// is a very rare cassette of songs I demo’d/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Sonic Hope community included [[John R Williamson]], | ||
+ | |||
+ | //The Big Yellow// was mostly 4 tracked in my garage, with a few songs recorded live and one in the studio. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Much of the album captures the early joy, optimism and wonder in my life when my wife and I were first dating and starting our life together (the cover art features a playful photo of us). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Much of the recordings are whimsical, while at the same alluding to the tension of the world. Examples being “Greyhound” a traveling song written about a road trip to attend [[David Finley]]’s wedding that ended in a bus crash. Another song “All My Friends Kim” was a ridiculous song about our dear friend Kim Dozier and her best friend Kim (who then marries Dave) and their best friend Kim... who all hung out together which got kinda confusing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Other moments captured my serious side including “Shantytown” written about a brief time I spent living in the shanty towns of South Africa during apartheid. It spoke of the anguish I witnessed among the oppressed and challenged my spiritual faith in very meaningful ways. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The album ends playfully with a collage of answering machine messages with an odd bunch of characters. | ||
+ | |||
+ | So //The Big Yellow// documents a lot fun stuff early in my life including my faith and my marriage and my first artistic community. Although Sonic Hope, as a collective, was short lived, Mandy, John, and I continued to make records. And despite relative obscurity, eventually some of those releases fell into good ears. Victoria Williams joined me on my debut release, T-Bone Burnett cited John as one of his favorite all time songwriters, | ||

+ | Between these two releases, Robert Deeble led a band called [[Days Like These]], which had one full length release under that name. That album was later re-issued under Deeble' | ||
