I'm fine with B. Walker, still wish Ryan Adams produced the record. Adams has put out so many amazing stuff lately, from 1984 to 1989, and the s/t is still one of the best record ever to me.
Whatever, only the songwriting matters. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the MATZ songs would be onto this. I assume, regarding the title, that it still deals with some things that were on Get Hurt or the MATZ songs. I might be wrong.

Would love for RA to get involved also. Butch is awesome though.

I think Smoke and Red Lights are very likely this be on this being he played them at Newport. Not sure if the other songs will make it or not. We will see.

Would also love him to redo The Blues, Mary and get a really high quality version of that song

Yeah, I'm really hoping we finally get a proper version of The Blues, Mary. Even just as a bonus track.

Hm, I wouldn't mind some MATZ or old Brian songs either, but I prefer it to contain only new songs, actually... Really interested in which direction this will go.

I'd be really surprised to find any older songs on there at all. From the way he talks about writing a record, his process seems to be to treat it as an entity and write songs that work together.

on one hand I hope that some MATZ songs are on it and some of his older stuff like The Blues, Mary, but on the other hand I will be happy if the album contains only new songs, so there would be more at choice to play live Very Happy

Loving all Brian's updates on the album! He seems so excited about it

me too...I am always so happy when I see sth Very Happy

so, we are not the only ones being excited about his solo record Smile

Would be cool to see some of these songs as bonus tracks. The Blues Mary and some of the Molly songs are too good to not have a proper release

I thought so. I hope hes playing a lot of the new stuff there, as I was at all 3 crossroads shows, and maybe going to either NY or DE for one more.

If you haven't gotten your tix yet I would do it now. I believe the Woodstock show is sold out and the Delaware show has a "Low Tickets" warning.

Thanks for heads up. Already have tickets to both the question is do I go or sell the tickets if it's more of the same stuff I just saw 3 nights in a row. Might not travel 2+ hours to see it l again.
