All Things in Their Time is the latest album, recorded during the summer of 2021 in Austin, TX. It formed from a batch of poems, songs & writings that came out by a sunny beach on a road trip right before the world shut down… and finished up during lockdown and the months that followed, where the topics of getting it together, coming together, making memories in moments and sense of the times… these truly took on a new depth. This album is a hard and hopeful look at the past couple of years and where we go from here. May it relax you and move you in a healing way. And groove on the music too - a lot of rockin’ soul and texture went in, and it was a lot of fun to record!

The instruments:
For you gearheads, the whole album is three guitars - an ‘80s Yamaha solid top acoustic; an early ‘70s Ventura copy of a Gibson Barney Kessel, just a giant blonde hollow body heavily used and modified with P90 (neck) and unknown “neck” humbucker (bridge position) - this is most of the distorted guitar and anything really thin & squonky; and the Scottocaster, a Frankenstrat (or Strat-o-various) with me in many forms since 1988, currently with a rosewood-board ‘60s re-issue Fender Telecaster neck and three single coils with special wiring to be the chimiest, quackiest, Strattiest Strat of all Strats. This is most of the bright second guitar splashed all over the album, and the “revival” style jam at the end. The bass is my personal Birdsong bass, a custom mashup of Cortobass body & Fusion pickup & wiring (that would make it as Especial), but with a carved scroll upper horn. It was made from a plank of cypress from one of the trees Wimberley, TX lost to the flood of ‘15.
