Solo (So Low) means just that. No guests, not even any overdubs or edits. Two hands, a good instrument, a voice, and the tapping of a two-tone wing-tip shoe. And nothing plugged in but the microphones and recording gear. I still work most of the time as a solo act and decided it was high time to do a studio recording that way. When I first heard Leadbelly and Big Bill, and when I first saw Lightnin’ Hopkins on television, all as a kid, they played solo and it blew me away. I have never lost my fascination with solo performance, especially on guitar, from Robert Johnson to Richard Thompson. A voice, a guitar, a story, and the means with which to tell it.
