#148 in the Need To Know Badass Blues Instrumental Series, CIRCLES, features the super stylized sliding of multi-instrumentalist, composer and luthier, SETH LEE JONES. You can hear the Tulsa in his playing. It's slinky and sneaky and badass without being egotistical. Seth grew up in the church playing music with his dad and grandpa. Recognizing his gift, at sixteen they shipped him off to LA to study at the Musicians Institute. After acquiring the knowing and realizing that the politics of the music biz was not his cup of tea he headed back to Tulsa establishing SLJ Guitars his guitar-repair/guitar-building workshop and happily gigging locally, fronting the Seth Lee Jones Band. He recently released a record called Flathead and if you like Sonny Landreth, Ry Cooder, Chris Whitley, Billy Gibbons, etc...you gotta check it out. In the meanwhile, please enjoy this bluesy little waltz we've cooked up for ya. Enjoy!
The backing band on this track is Rich Kirch (John Lee Hooker 1984-2001) on rhythm guitar, Alvino Bennett (Dave Mason, Stevie Wonder) on drums, and myself on bass. The track was recorded at Skunkworks in Capitola CA and Jared Tyler's studio in Tulsa. Mixed by the Grammy-winning Godfather of Grunge, Jack Endino (Nirvana, Nando Reis), and masterfully mastered by Alex McCollough at True East Mastering.
