The Makings of Short
While Ago
Three Tall
Pines recently recorded their debut album Short While Ago
between September 2007 and January 2008. The collection of
songs captured on this album includes songs that were written
and have been performed by the group over
the past two years. There is a consistent thread
that weaves through the song selection that reflects early
working class America life and hardship.
The album was recorded at
Signature Sounds Studios in Pomfrey, Connecticut. The group
visited several recording studios before meeting producer and
engineer, Mark Thayer at Signature Sounds. The
studio, a restored barn in a picturesque rural setting, seemed
to capture the essence of the to-be-recorded songs and Mark's
experience recording acoustic albums such as Salamander Crossing
and Mark Erelli seemed a good match for the music.
Mark worked with the group to
engineer the album and track over several weekends. Mark helped
produce the album with the group. Special thanks to
boo-boo for all the moral support and for loaning his puppet
skunk to the pines during a late night listen-back session.
The album was mastered at Airshow
Mastering in Springfield, Virginia by Charlie Pilzer.
Three Tall Pines was introduced to Airshow from Bonnie Rideout.
Special thanks to Charlie for mastering this album.
Special thanks to Mark Thayer,
Chris Hersch, Mary, Stacy and Booboo and to fiends and family
that helped support the album. Chris is a great
friend of the group and tracked banjo on some of the songs.
