I wrote a song a day for a month, to see what would be unearthed, but also to challenge myself creatively...what would it take to get into writing head-space on a daily basis? To approach the Spirit who gives voice and melody in all things every day for sustenance and partnership? Some of these songs were done within twenty minutes, some took a couple of hours. Some I would put on any record, produced out with thick instrumentation, some I would throw into a folder never to be seen till I’m an old man, bored and needing to remember. But here they all are for you... *This package includes a lovely digital booklet with lyrics, notes on songs, photographs, compiled and designed by Aaron. credits - enter the following link into your browser: http://aaronstrumpel.com/January_Journal_eBook.pdf released 21 September 2012 Recorded and Engineered over the course of three mornings by Aaron Strumpel at Shovel Studios (www.shovelstudios.com) Mixed and Mastered by David Wilton at St. Ida's Recording Studio in Lafayette, CO (www.saintidas.com) Artwork by Aaron Strumpel Bird Iconography by David Salinas (enthos.net) All songs written by Aaron Strumpel with the exceptions of two co-write revisions, “Turn On A Dime” and “Poured Out” by Aaron Strumpel, Jason Roberson, and Luke Humbrecht ©2012 Thirsty Dirt Records
