I am happy and excited to announce WILD HONEY MUSIC will be releasing BARSTOOL BLUES this summer. The head of WHM, Paul Rock, inked the deal with me this morning over a bowl of Cheerios. So, the US release is going to be a bit different.

1. the cover will be different
2. the music will be completely diff. mixes (in some cases, instruments on that weren’t there before)
3. I’m removing 1 song (Watersigns) and adding 2 songs (Sepulveda Pass and Lendel Cellars) so that the record will have 12 songs instead of 11.
4. we may even change the title back to the VERY first idea, which was TRAVEL SONGS (which became City Life which became barstool blues…)

Wild Honey Music is even talking about a live DVD in the early fall as well so I’m very excited about the possibilities.
