The Mescal Sheiks: Home

Well Sheiksters and Sheikettes, March and April still sees us in pre-production for returning to the studio at the end of May.

We had planned on being back dealing with the tracks at the end of last month, but as we’ve gotten into the heavy lifting, it’s taking longer than we expected. As things are moving along this summer, we’ll see if this will affect getting the first of the Sessions released in January. We’re hoping to make up time, and keep our schedule.

A bit of a teaser... the titles of some the of the 24 songs are;

Memphis Time
You Bought The Ticket
Medicine Man
NOLA La-La
Blind Man’s Trick
Good Enough Ain’t
Day To Day
What’s Holding Her Up
Alabama Chrome
Lift Me in the Water
Feet Are the First to Know
It’s A Dog’s World
Ain’t That the Way
Where There’s Smoke There’s You

As we’re back in the studio we’ll get more news out to you, the plan is to have a photographer getting pictures in the studio and we’ll get them up on the web site for you.

The first digital EP release from the sessions will be in next January, with a digital EP Release every three months until all 24 songs from the sessions are out.
