In the Studio: Someone Had To Die (song 2)

One of the most unique songs that will be on the new project is this story song, “Someone Had To Die.” Part of what makes it unique: It has no chorus!

Roger introduces the song and then, after some discussion about the arrangement, they record a scratch (temporary) vocal while the musicians lay down the track. (When the vocals are cut, Debra will sing verse two, but since Lauren was at the microphone, already had the headphones on, and knew the verse, she did it here just to guide the musicians.)

In the Studio: Good Things (Song 1)

The Talley Trio has started work on a new project! Here, Lauren introduces “Good Things,” a song recorded by the Hemphills a number of years ago that they’re going to bring back. Then she lays down a “scratch vocal,” to help indicate to the band where they are in the song, as the band records the track in the next room.

The Extra Mile: Debra

Debra just wrapped up her session. She had everyone laughing or crying the whole time. She shared her feelings of inadequacy from her childhood on, and what she has done to break the generational curse of passing on inadequacy.

She will also be starting a class, The Confidence Class. We’ll have more information on that shortly.

There is a Lauren Talley solo concert and a Talley Trio group concert coming this evening, but due to a long drive afterwards I probably won’t be able to post much about it.

The Extra Mile: Lauren’s Session

Debra started the day with prayer. The group sang a song and Lauren sang a solo song before Lauren’s session.

Lauren began her session by sharing the story that gave birth to the Songs in the Night book and CD.

About two years ago, she went through an illness that had her largely confined to her bed or the couch for about three months. During that time, she sought God as to why she had to go through that trial. The book draws from the Bible study she did during those months; the CD is of the songs that carried her through that time. During this session, she shared the first Bible study from the book, on Psalm 77. She finished the session by singing two songs from the new CD, ”Songs in the Night” and “The Extra Mile.”

For those of you who can’t be here, a video camera crew is catching this on tape so we can watch it online some time in the near future.

Also, the promised special announcement is here.
