Notes about this special album from the talented multi-instrumentalist, Gerry Hundt (the "not so secret weapon" behind The Dig 3, Corey Dennison Band, Nick Moss' Flip Tops, Cash Box Kings, and more)
One More For Me, named for our recording process, was recorded live in the studio, in Luxembourg between tour gigs. We performed a couple full takes of dteach track, settling on versions we thought best; often we'd do one more take in an effort to somehow improve on a great performance, just for our own satisfaction. Along with new songs, this album reaches far back into my catalogue, 15 years in two cases, but is wholly contemporary in its articulation. I count myself lucky to have stood onstage with artists like John Primer, Lurrie Bell, Jimmy Johnson, Nick Moss, Andrew Duncanson, Barrelhouse Chuck, and Carl Weathersby. In equal measure, I've drawn invaluable immediate influence from Lil' Ed, Joel Paterson, Oscar Wilson, Billy Flynn, and Glenn Davis. Each of these tracks holds something special for me, not the least of which is collaborating with bassist/harmonica ace Renaud Lesire and drummer Tom Lehnert, whose love and knowledge of the music continually inspires me both to revisit my roots and push forward into something new.
Some notes about the songs
1) PIMENTA (2:11) - Portuguese for "hot sauce", literally it means "pepper." This opening track is inspired by a Bo Diddley instrumental 2) CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE (3:33) - more a tribute to Lil Ed than Elmore James3) PRETTY BABY (3:43) - a foot-stompin' party song, the kind that'd get the Zoo Bar or the Kingston Mines rockin'4) KID MAN BLUES (3:18) - a throwback to the days I spent absorbing legendary blues mandolinist Johnny Young recordings5) RUBY DOOBIE (2:48) - a true story, this goofy, fun number showcases Renaud on low-tuned harmonica- double harp boogie!6) RUNNIN' WILD (3:11) - I've never thought blues and disco were mutually exclusive... a funky Eddie C. Campbell instrumental7) I'M GONE (3:25) - this one's been through a couple iterations and is a crowd favorite. "The Deacon" rides again!8) RAMBLER'S BLUES (3:01)- this guitar wizard Tampa Red tune is a favorite and turned out to be a lot of fun translated to mandolin9) STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING (2:49) - all true stories! This is the second tune I've written while watching the news, the first being Since Way Back in 2006.10) END OF THE DAY BLUES (4:27) - First recorded in 2007, this was written as a mandolin instrumental and gets the full Earl Hooker treatment this time around.
