For this chapter in the Isolation Sessions series I was, I'll call it, "encouraged" to play a classic song by The Stand GT: "Crank Down The Window".
When playing songs by The Stand on acoustic guitar I tend to struggle without Wally keeping my rhythm in check and throughout this, I could clearly hear Colin's backing vocals. And as with all great songs by this band, I always hear Doug's guitar-magic, floating above it all: The chemistry that made these songs soar in the first place.
I do find it funny that I wrote a song with the opening line, "By the way...". Shouldn't all songs start that way... because really, if you think about it? Okay, maybe I'm overthinking it.
The sip of beer at the start of this was intentional for those wondering.
Because, The Stand.
For those who know this song, enjoy. For those who don't, I hope you enjoy it as well.
If you'd like to hear the original, it's here on the great Apocalypse Cow LP.
If you look closely on Bandcamp, you can even score an original vinyl pressing of that LP, "NOS". I know, right? Grab one before its too late.
I'll never tire of saying it: Be kind to each other. And be sure to thank these front-line super heroes walking among us.
I hope music like this gives you comfort of some sort.
Hugs, friends.
