The thing about Blacky is he never knows how to completely
go away. A lingering mess. The band is his tribe... but he remains forever unattached...at the same time. Like a sleepy rain
god. Any how...
January seemed harmless enough. There was enough to do. Giant Sand demos to finish... or
the next record to finish itself. Impending Giant Sand tour at the end of the month... 2
months abroad. The kid to look after... the rimrock ranch sign to paint (still forgot that
one), but somewhere in the middle of it all..... Talking to Andy at Demon one early Friday
morning... "Long Stem Rant" has
yet to surface... The next Sand LP can't come out 'til September... That means
"Blacky" has to fill the gap.... I tell him, but the only possible time to
record would be that weekend. Get the O.K. from Andy. Get in the 'cuda and drive to Tucson
that afternoon. Let the record write itself on the way down. 8 hour drive, a fistful of
sage is plucked on the down ramp out of Joshua Tree Monument...... just in case.
Special thanks to Lucienda for singing...... it was a dream.
