I recently did a Concert Window performance with a group of talented singer/songwriters. Donations were raised to benefit The Opening Word, a literacy program for women located in Wyandanch, NY.

In case you missed it, here's one of my performances from that afternoon.

Here are a few video clips from the Careless Truth recording sessions. In these two clips I'm recording the slide guitar solos for "Follow the Money". They were played on my 1972 Gibson SG through a 1960's Fender Vibrolux Amp (courtesy of the Cloud9 Vintage Instrument collection). To get the keening sustain I was looking for a cool new pedal from Cloud 9 Audio was used. The FuzzBubble 45 (FB-45) is a great pedal that can conjure up varying levels of overdrive or fuzztone. It gave me the exact sound I was seeking for the slide guitar solos in this song.
