Zeke releases Free Folk/Country EP
For my mother’s birthday this past January, I thought it would a lovely gift to record an EP, solely for her birthday. Among these songs that we love so much (and my parents grew up on) include numbers from The Carter Family, Hank Williams, and Elizabeth Cotten. As an included special threat for my mother, I recorded the entire EP with my very first guitar from childhood (with the original strings I learned on if you can believe that!) using my first Microphone, ran through my first 4 track tape recorder. The picking style is one that I inherited from my Father, Clem who he got from Merle Travis and Jimmie Rodgers. Though my father had heard my “Lemonland” record, these recordings where the last of me he got to hear before his passing in February and I’m so thankful for most things working out the way they did. He and I shared an unbreakable love for music and had planned to record together, but as they say “You know how plans work out..”
