Kites In The County (Solo 21)

Story Behind The Song

One day, I invited my friends to come out to the farm to fly kites on a beautiful windy day. Very trippy and fun. The track was recorded "LIve" at Wally Heider's Studio in San Francisco. I had the honor to have Zakir Hussain playing the tablas on the track. Amazingly, we never practiced or rehearsed the track. We set up the studio and I just started playing and Zakir came in and we laid the track track....one take... amazing!

Really liking the guitar work in this track! The use of harmonics is really cool.

A display of really skillful hand drum playing with lots of interesting different pitches and tones. Enjoyed listening to that!

There's something kind of Paul-Simony about this track.

The switch in feel at 1:56 is really interesting, as well as the end of the song - both those parts drew my ear!
