INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU ARE WRITING THE ALBUM NOTES
Just cause Jeff had planned on traversin’ Costa Rical this last week, I was left to put together all the pieces of his album of the month so that’s why I’m writin’ these notas an not him. But before I get ahead of myself. Let me introduce myself, I am Jethro Heathcolb and this email has links to the country album that Jeff and me done wrote in the month of February 2011. He left some smart instructions for me of what to write and where and whatnot. So that’s what I’m doing writin’ to y’all.
EXPLAIN HOW THE ALBUM WAS MADE
Before I get too far, I need to mention that this year’s album included many contributions from The Rotten Liars recorded at breakneck speed in Austin Texas to give the album a more realistic country favor that Jeff couldn’t get by himself in his cake-eating liberal paradise in Chicago. The Rotten Liars may be Cory Plump, Jeff Freeman, Nathan Lineback, and Wellington Chew. Special mention must be made to Amarin Enyart, whose southern fried voice is like a blazin’ sun when coupled in harmony with my dim grumbly monotone star.
WRITE A LITTLE ABOUT THE ALBUM
Yes. Me and the Rotten Liars are the best parts of this here mix of twelve songs all of which were written in February, exceptin’ for one which was lonely and destitute and just seemed right at home around all of the others here, so it was dropped in. Jeff had wanted it to be a half and half album city/country type thing, but I done cut most of his songs cause they were too pussy to be put on the same album with the hard truth that I like to be singin’.
GIVE THE LIST OF SONGS AND LINK
The various inpidual themes included in this album are misogyny, alcoholism, ignorance, drinking, alcoholism, and bad sex. The overarching theme, however, is love. And not just small love either. Big fat love for friends, family and females of all shapes and hair color. Don’t let no one tell you that Jethro Heathcolb don’t have no tender side.
Oh yeah so here’s where I need to write the damn song list
1 I might (maybe he will)
2 Chicken chow mein
3 Moon
4 Quit running your big city mouth (and come give me a kiss)
5 I hear you talkin but you ain’t sayin nothin
6 Doing you was doing more than just doing someone new
7 I’d stop drinkin but I’ve already started
8 Put the yodel in my country song
9 Hello from Austin Texas
10 American Proud
11 Jesus Song
12 I just came back to remember why I left
THANK THEM FOR LISTENING
Why is he sendin’ this to you? He’s under some delusion that y’all’ll enjoy hearing from him. I tried talk him out of it. At any rate, thanks for listenin’, if you listen.
Yours with the Lord,
Jethco
