The Gospel Of Rust: Track by Track, Part 9

June 22nd, 2010 by Nathan Wade

We’re in the home-stretch with Let The Wind Know, a fatalistic lament for a lost world.  Great string arrangement by Sam (who also played bowed bass), featuring Barb Hunter (cello) and Melissa Montalto (violin). Brad Zeffren (producer/engineer) joined me for the choral vocals on the bridge.

Both “Let The Wind Know” and “Lake of Fire” use an open C tuning that I copped from the Led Zeppelin song “Friends” (damn, I love that tuning). The tone of this song was so emotionally resigned that only a barn burner like “I Am The Rust” could make a counterpoint; we’ll get to that one next (plus a bonus track).
