about

Roughly a decade ago I was asked to be a part of a cassette only Neil Young tribute record. It was a small label based out of Virginia or DC from what I recall and I was excited to contribute to it. The band I was in at the time was of course in a state of flux and we were not able to get our shit together to make what I wanted to happen happen.

Instead, I decided to do this on my own, live with two mics taped to my Tascam 4 track tape machine.

The label never responded once the song was sent (in the mail mind you!) and honestly I don't think the record ever ended up coming out.

This has sat on the shelf for a long time...and it felt like the right time to set it free.

about

Michael Rudolph Cummings is the vocalist/guitarist for the band Backwoods Payback. Cummings's solo material is equally dark but subdued in volume and temperance, recalling the ditch-trilogy era of Neil Young and the slower moments of Townes Van Zandt.
