4 YEARS LATER....Free, Man, Free.

Opening track from my next album, 'DEVASTATOR' / released as a single last fall to the streams. This is the same performance captured on me phone on Mom's piano (XO to Heaven).

The floating bedhead angle maybe isn't my first choice---but 4 years of freedom from slavery to the hooch (haha) means I feel too good to worry about that. I look way better than I did back in 2022! Losing a pint of blood and being put into a coma. Turning yellow from jaundice. Doctors saying I could "die any day". My liver put a restraining order on me. We're cool now, though. Esophagus took a lot longer to come around (haha). But it IS possible, folks. I used to love getting wasted. But I evolved out of it because there was nowhere left to go but in the ground.

I had to fight to get my mind and body back 25 years, haha. The liver is about 65 now, I'd say. And the struggle only made me stronger. I'm living proof nothing can stop you when you refuse to be put down. Nothing holds me down at all anymore that ain't good for me. Anything less is just holding you back.

If something hurts you--then it doesn't help you at all. You have to deal with the void inside you inevitably. Whatever trauma and negative thinking that makes you easy prey for instant gratification? Yeah, that thing.
Starting with gratitude for what goes right and what makes you happy is just the beginning. From that, I find my faith. Whatever that is to you---is up to you. Just remember---"You can't juke the jukester."

To me, the joy I feel from being free came out in this song. I'm not a top piano player by any stretch. I know enough chords to play them on guitar I guess, haha. This song really came from trying to apply major-minor pentatonic scales that I'd been studying on guitar to the piano just for fun. When it started sounding cool---somebody said, "Record it!" Haha, thanks, fam.

I feel very blessed and looking forward to my life. Feel like I just woke up from a twenty-five year incarceration. Thank you for watching this long. It gets better, trust me!

Cheers
-AGx

[BTSC08]

My first attempt at a studio album after the MANICS break-up in Summer 2004 with the late Leo Goff, III at the helm.

Leo would go on to much success as part of the recording side of the industry working with Yo Gotti (among others--of course) after helping me record what we hoped would become an album eventually. It was his first project after the MANICS' 'Here Lately' 4-song E.P. we cut in one marathon 12-hour session at Ardent Studios (where we also met Big Star drummer Jody Stephens---hell yeah). Though my band did not survive the process---I found a new friend who I really learned some cool stuff from and helped me try to find that sound I was searching for. He was cool---a chill, really fuckin' sharp Dude who appreciated my offbeat sense of humour and made the process pretty painless for a frantic guy on the edge making this (haha).

I wished we could have worked together again. I was just lucky to know him for a little bit of time and work with him (practically for free)---before everyone else saw how awesome he was and then---'off ya go' into the California sunset. The last time I talked to him that I can remember was after I gave him a copy of 'Bloodletting Sessions'---the album I recorded with some friends at a home studio back in the holler of North MS (haha) in spring 2006. He wrote back to me---"Why didn't you sing like THAT when we were in the studio?'---hahahha. That and I think something about how he would've recorded it better probably---haha. I think Evan did a fine job---just the same. It's the 20th anniversary of THAT album I'll be blabbing about later this year.

I write because I can remember?

Cheers and Happy New Year, ya jabronies.
