about

Field Recordings is a collection of "demos, dirges, out-takes, take-outs, songs proper and song fragments, all recorded in different times in different basements, living rooms, altered states, and state of the art studios, real, imagined, and car tested...." That’s the way Neal described this record in the liner notes and it’s an accurate take on this compilation.

‘Brand New Damage’ and ‘Best To Believe’ are both songs that got left off Fade Away Diamond Time’ but were staples of Neal’s live shows in those early years. ‘Sleeping Under Stone’ is another song written by Barbara Keith that Neal made his own. ‘December’ is a beautiful, lush demo with a string arrangement by Davis Jaynes. The closing hidden track ‘Blood On The Boombox’ begins after 3 minutes of silence and is an inebriated, goofing around, basement cassette recording of Neal’s high school band Exire crushing Black Sabbath’s ‘Paranoid’. Basement dreams, indeed.
