Hello folks,

[22 August edit: CDs are now available here and iTunes download here.]

I just wanted to let you know that I have a new EP called "Quit My Job EP" coming out on 22 August. It contains 5 tracks, 4 with lap steel. Smile (The digital release will also include a remix as a bonus track). Will post more news and some samples nearer the release - in the meantime here is the cover:



My 2009 album was a mellow affair based mainly around Weissenborn acoustic steel - this EP is mostly upbeat and I played my black Lap King Rodeo built by Jason DuMont on the tracks where the lap steel is more prominently featured (there is a load of instruments on the EP - percussion, double bass, accordion, cello, violin, drums, clarinet...).

Cheers,

Fred

This looks very interesting to me with the other instruments along w/ the LS. I'll be anxious to hear it.

Here is a tiny little preview:

I hope you will like it. I played my Burgin baritone Weissenborn on that track (then there's cello, clarinet, darbouka, accordion, drums and bass too Wink).

Cheers,

Fred

Howdy Fred,

This is absolutely GREAT!!! You've got it now;-) Can't wait to purchase a copy for the hacienda. This is going to sound so good poolside (I've been working on my cement pond). All the best from Texas my friend- This is lovely.

With the release coming up in two weeks' time, the EP title track "Quit My Job" can now be streamed here:

http://listn.to/fredkinbom

As this is the Steel Guitar Forum, some gear info: The lap steel I played on the recording is a custom Lap King Rodeo (Lollar Imperial humbucker neck pickup being in use) through a Fender Blues Junior. Smile

And, the "Quit My Job EP" can be pre-ordered from my website here:

http://www.fredkinbom.com/products.html

I hope you will enjoy the track, and any pre-orders are greatly appreciated!

All the best,

Fred

Just bought it on the Canadian iTunes. Listening now as I eat my breakfast. Great stuff Fred! Keep the music coming. It sure would be cool if you ever played Vancouver (or even Seattle or Portland). Although, I know we're a bit of a ways away...

Tonu, on that recording I had the baritone tuned to E minor (G minor format) but at the moment it's tuned to B (D major format). Many thanks for your CD orders!

Cheers,

Fred
