Upcoming Project: An Album of Folksongs

I have been keeping a project "close to the vest" (a phrase I heard recently that I like the sound of). I wanto push it away from the vest now and make it well known to you guys and my blog. You must at this point be aware of my guitar playing videos and my love for guitar music of all kinds. Well I know if I want to take this passion and turn it into a big project.

I want to make "An Album of Folksongs." I want to make a quality music album with great guitar, great storytelling in the lyrics, great record quality, and great performances. A fullength album that can stand the test of time and really tell a unique story that someone like me can tell. I am going to do something I don't ever do and really make this songs about my life. Songs about judy's mom hunt, songs about saginmeoff and my video blog, it will be sort of an autobiography album of song. No fictional writing on this one, straight from the truth, striaght from the heart.

The biggest problem hurtle to this project will be that I don't have any good recording equipment or quality instruments to do this the right way. There is no reason to do this if i can't do it right. I will need to get accordon players, mandolin players, some percussions, female singers, quality microphones, press some CDs. There is no reason to go 1/2 when you can go 100%.

I cant do the project with kickstarter again because they will not be honest about the fundraising and they are not a source of much luck. So I will have to think about the best way to raise the funds or see if a local recording studio can do it in trade for me setting up a blog or doing some videos for them.

It is coming soon I hope but not too soon because I only have a couple of songs right now.
