“Georgia Blue is a labor of love. On election day 2020, when I saw
that there was a good chance the state of Georgia might go blue, I came
up with an idea: to record an album of Georgia- related songs as a thank
you to the state and donate the money to a Georgia based non-profit
organization. I will admit my motivations were a bit selfish. For years,
I’ve been looking for an excuse to record these songs with my band and
some friends. The songs on this album are some of my favorite
Georgia-related songs, but the tracklist is not meant to be
comprehensive. I would love to cover Outkast and 2 Chainz, but I don’t
think the finished product would be very good. We’re a rock band, so we
covered rock songs. We have roots in blues and R&B, so we enlisted
some brilliant artists to help us pull off songs by Precious Bryant,
James Brown, and Gladys Knight. My favorite part of the Georgia Blue
recording process was having the opportunity to work with these very
special artists, and I thank them: Amanda Shires, Brittney Spencer, Adia
Victoria, Brandi Carlile, Julien Baker, Bèla Fleck, Chris Thile, Steve
Gorman, Peter Levin, and John Paul White. I hope you enjoy listening to
these recordings as much as we enjoyed making them. Keep listening to
good music and fighting the good fight.”
