JOHNNY CASINO – Ghost Ships (C.Bailey)
¨Living in Spain I have found myself playing a lot of solo concerts all throughout Spain and into Europe, so I had the idea to record a bunch of songs in this more intimate stripped back way. I went into Estudio Tigruss in Els Poblets Spain with nothing more than a guitar and a handful of ideas in my hands and mind, I sat down in front of the microphone and started singing and playing almost exactly as I do when I play solo, 3 or 4 hours later I had recorded 12 songs in a live performance kind of way. After the initial recordings were done I decided to add some extra instruments but treated it as if walking a fine line because I did not want to lose the original intimate, raw, bare bones live feel but just to ¨flesh¨ the performances out a little, to open them up sonically speaking, make them more landscape as opposed to portrait.
What you have here is a collection of songs….yours and mine, and the vibrations that travel through them and connect all or at least some of us¨
