 Sick Of Debt |
Like a kiss from grandma and some hard advice from your pa, Backyard Tire Fire greet the spring with Sick Of Debt, a free downloadable EP with some serious giddy-up in its hitch. Singer-guitarist-60-minute-man Ed Anderson raises the dusty bones of Hank Williams (Sr. & Jr.) and Ronnie Van Zant on this six-pack perfect for shotgunning your troubles away.
"We loaded into Oxide Lounge in Bloomington, IL on a cold December afternoon
(12.17.07) to record a healthy dose of some acoustic Tire Fire twang," says Anderson. "There had always been talk of sitting down in the same room and doing a stripped down recording and we finally found the time to do it! Some of these songs are favorites that have been around for years and never found a place on an album, while others were written only weeks before. All of the tunes feature our good friend Jerry “Muttonhead” Erickson on either dobro or pedal steel guitar and were recorded live with minimal overdubs. The result is a raw collection of some of our finest acoustic material that we decided to make available for FREE DOWNLOAD. Please enjoy and pass it around."
