Through the Artist’s Eyes: Recording at Dirt Floor

In recording a new project, I had initial plans that were a bit more aspirational than I came up with. I wanted to take folks all along the ride, from writing to arranging to recording to mixing to mastering to cover design and everything in between. Well, we mostly just let everything unravel and lay out before us like an elaborate Persian rug when we were in the studio, and I am damn glad we did. Being a videographer and recording songwriting at the same time would have taken away from one or both. Regardless, I did take some footage and decided to pull together this little piece on my experiences with Eric Lichter and the Dirt Floor family. Truly amazing.
