mixing day 2
posted in Robert Wilson news Blog
Hey ya’ll, John and I are in the studio all this week and most of next week mixing the record. Many of you know it been over 2 years since we first started recording. It’s exciting to be getting close to completion.
As I type john is burning a mix of “Jimmy Cliff” down to 2 inch tape. Man it sounds so good to hit tape!! I know it’s a pain in the ass to work with, but recording to tape just sounds better. I wish you could all be here in the studio to hear it right from the original tape.
Jimmy cliff is a nod to my reggae heroes, so we’ve got some classic tape echo going on on this track.
“”The harder they come, the harder they fall”, Jimmy Cliff told me, and I believe it all”

I’ll be doing an opening set for Jully black. You all know about me so let me tell you what I know about Jully Black.
She’s one of canada’s most popular soul singers. based in Toronto, she’s penned songs for Destiny’s Child and Nas, and shared the stage with Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Bon Jovi, Josh Groban and Usher. she’s hosted the juno awards and is a host of e-talk daily. but more inportantly she’s an amazing singer and I hear she’s travelling with a killer band.
We’re playing a very small venue and I’m sure that this one will sell out real quick. get your tickets soon through ticketmaster.
