Ben Cox-Smith slides on down the fiery road

Saturday 19 Feb saw Ben Cox-Smith join the Jack Cade ensemble to add some slide guitar to The Fiery Road. Ben uses a wooden bodied Dobro which generated some awesome tones in the studio. He initial laid down some parts on two songs 'Hotter than the sun' and 'The Devils Hand' both tracks are quite rhythmic and require space, Ben laid down so beautifully executed and sensitively expressed parts that have really lifted the songs. We then asked him to work on a new track he hadn't heard before 'Big Moe Hazy' taking the lead rather than adding texture. I have to say it was an inspired call on Tom's part as the resulting gutar track is brilliant and really makes the song shine.

Tomorrow we're all set for an early start laying down some more guitar and then in the afternoon adding some more drums... everything is really starting to come together now... exciting times...till next time Jack Cade.
