Click here to launch the myspace page that hosts two covers I recorded of Hank Williams' "Can't Help It If I'm Still In Love With You" and Steve Earle's "Nothing Without You" (dedicated to my boyfriend yLee, who included the original on our wedding CD.) I'm trying to find "my voice." The Hank Williams tune is an example of just trying to sing not like I've heard the song sung by others (or myself) before. (Linda Ronstadt's belted-out version of that song is woven into the fiber of my very being. As are so many of her covers of songs.)
We recorded on May 24th. My first real day in the studio on a project of my very own. Guided by my wonderful, talented, patient friend Jim Ruberto, who produced, played lap steel on "Can't Help It" and sang and played guitar on "Nothing."
I really hope he had fun singing. He should do more of it.
Of all the truly cool things that came out of wedding singing, including getting to know and love the boys in the band and seeing some of the most amazing views of Colorado (the ones people pay for, at least), it's my friendship and with Jimmie that I count as one of the high prizes.
