If you’ve never rocked out to Punjabi music, then I feel true pity and sadness for you.

Writing the companion book for Ghost Notes was a much bigger endeavor than I initially expected. My dad actually described it as "an autobiography in music." Most reviewers focused on the music, but Blues in Britain reviewed the book, too, calling it "a real artistic statement and achievement.

Captain Beefheart. Huge hero of mine. "Captain's Orders"—on Volume 9 of the new Strange Birds release—was very much written with him in mind. Beefheart aficionados should recognize many of the lyrical references. Stream the track anywhere; here's a Pandora link: www.pandora.com/artist/preac...

Here's a formula: For every $150 you spend on an effect pedal, you should spend $150 less on the guitar, because the more pedals you have, the less the guitar matters to the actual sound.

One song did make its way out into the world, albeit initially not on a Preacher Boy album. That song was “This Is New York,” and it was included on the soundtrack of “Approaching Union Square,” the debut film from Marc Myers. It’s now part of “Strange Birds” as well, included on Volume IV.

My missus and I were living in Brooklyn when “Demanding to be Next” was recorded, and I was writing up a storm at the time, both at home and on the road. Many of those songs are only now seeing the light of day as part of the “Strange Birds: 25 Years of Demos, Outtakes, and Album Rarities” release.

As part of the tour for the new album, I spent a month on the road as the support act for Charlie Musselwhite—an honor I will always treasure. The picture in this post is a shot of Charlie and I taken at Buddy Guy’s Legends in July of that year.

2004 was a pretty noteworthy year in the ol’ Preacher Boy chronicles. That year, I released “Demanding to be Next,” which was my first solo acoustic record. It was also debut of my own record label, Coast Road Records, which, at the time, was distributed by RedEye.
