The Band of the Land and the Mic that Goes Around Your Neck (2003)
This is probably the most well known and well liked of the Band Of The Land cassette releases. The title is a reference to how we were really excited to be working with a lavalier style microphone that improved the sound quality a great deal from our previous album.
This one is just me and Beth as a duo – me on guitar, Beth on percussion, and both of us singing together. We recorded it in my living room on cassette in 2002, and then released it the next year – it was online for a bit in the early 2010s, and at least one person besides me and Beth still has a copy of it, which is more than I can say about most of these.
Our songwriting chops had improved a lot, and Beth was writing some really interesting lyrics that I sometimes tasked myself with coming up with a rhythm and melody for on the day of recording – she wrote a lot of nostalgic songs about growing up in New Jersey, and it was an interesting challenge for me to try and compose parts for, as a New Yorker who didn’t know a lot of the experiences she was writing about firsthand – my favorite of these was “Walk After the Snow”, which I recorded a new version of in my late teens and released as part of a Cannonball Statman album much later on.
