Expanded Fourth Edition*
RECORDING SESSIONS 2001
During a recent search through old
documents, photographs, rough mixes and master tapes in the archives, the
following recording session information was
unearthed:
HEAD
NOTES:
This is
NOT a complete listing of all the recordings in the
PEYOTE COYOTES tape archives. What is presented here
in this fourth revised edition is only an attempt to assemble the
information that is currently available with what could be remembered
or is known to still exist. More extensive research of the tapes that are in the
vault needs to be carefully done. Most of the original multi-track session
tapes, mixdowns, rough mixes and compilation tapes should probably still exist,
Although, they may remain lost somewhere in the PEYOTE
COYOTES tape library. A few of the recordings possibly no
longer survive at all in any form. Some of these original session tapes may
actually contain recordings of a few alternate takes, rehearsals, demos, odd
bits & pieces or even other previously forgotten songs. Most of the
tapes have yet to be properly catalogued and fully auditioned. Some
tapes are missing and have not yet been found. There are perhaps several other
unknown songs still hidden in the tape library that survived and have not yet
been included in this documentation. In the future a full analysis of the
session tapes, reel by reel will be
attempted.

FOOT
NOTES:
+ NOTE: By the summer of
1993 although he could usually be found hanging around the studios on a
daily basis, Dave Raupp had all but refused to participate in any of the "DRUNKEN HILLBILLY SESSIONS" and therefore any PEYOTE COYOTES projects. The albums
concept was one that Dave just didn't seem to agree with. To this day he still
claims to have reservations about it. On occasion, Dave did from time to
time bring other artists into the studio and worked on demos with them during
this period. These uncatalogued items still exist in the tape library today, but
have yet to be fully examined in detail. "Necrophilia" was written by Dave and the lyrics were
provided by Robert. This was in fact the last released PEYOTE COYOTES recording that Dave was
actually involved with until early January 1998. At some point it
became the final track for the "ON THE ROAD TO GIZA"
album.
^ NOTE: "Folsom Prison Blues" and "Nearest Foreign Border" are two early "Hillbilly" recordings that were later added at the last minute onto the line-up of the original 1993 version of "COLLECTION OF DRUG SONGS". The previous compilation cassettes from 1992 and the original early mono 10" master reel version of "Drug Songs" did not include either of these two songs. "2000 Light Years From Home" which was recorded a month before on April 24-25, 1993. This was also not included on any of the early compilations. With the album nearly completed in the can, the vocal overdub session of April 25, 1993 is significant in that it marks Tom Lepold's first real participation at the actual recording sessions. At a third overdub session additional vocals were later added by Robert Lance. The mono version of the "Drug Songs" album was very different to the final stereo mixes and is dated February 14, 1993. All of the tracks for this master were mixed in Studio "C" on this day by Dave Raupp and Gary Bright from the mid-late 1992 sessions tapes. This original 10" master reel still exists today in the PEYOTE COYOTES tape archives.
The "DRUNKEN
HILLBILLY SESSIONS" had actually begun without any kind of
conceptual ideas during May 1993, before the final stereo masters for "DRUG SONGS" were completed and compiled. The sessions
continued for a full year and officially ended with various final overdubs
on May 2, 1994. Many of the tracks recorded during this one year period
were actually held back for the next album "ON THE ROAD TO
GIZA". Indeed, there were also a large number of recordings from
this period that were never used at all. The last song originally recorded for
the "HILLBILLY'S" album was a Big Band cover version
of Bob Dylan's "On A Night Like This". It was
actually recorded two months after the end of the sessions, sometime in July of
1994. Originally Gary had arranged, conducted, produced and recorded all of
the tracks by himself. At some later undocumented time, he eventually
persuaded Tom to contribute his lead vocal and harmonica parts. This
extravagant production became the final closing track for the
album.
* NOTE: The "Big House Session" was a later attempt in early May 1994
by Tom Lepold and Gary Bright to finish up many of the tracks from the
"DRUNKEN HILLBILLY SESSIONS". This final session
was recorded a year after the first sessions for this album began. In
Robert Lance's forced absence, a number of the tracks apparently had
additional backing vocals overdubbed onto vacant tracks on this date
in Studio "C". Also in addition to these added vocals, some harmonica overdubs
for "Pretty Boy Floyd" & "Ain't No More Caine" by Tom were probably done on this
night. The "Wild Orchestrations" could also have been
added to "Ballad Of Beaver Valley" at this time. The
remainder of the recording sessions seem to have all taken place in the old
Studio "B" in Thousand Oaks, California. Studio "B" was the main studio where
most of the recording sessions from as early as January 1981 took place. The
"1984 Summer Sessions" and the aborted "1986 Summer Sessions" were also held in Studio "B". Most
of "COLLECTION OF DRUG SONGS" was in fact recorded in
the much smaller STUDIO "C", this was at one time in fact the control room for
STUDIO "B". Most of the recording equipment from the studios was moved to
Northern California in November 1995. After fifteen years of recording
sessions, the studio was finally sold on August 3, 1997. From the information
revealed in the above documentation, it can also be clearly determined that many
of the recordings for the "ON THE ROAD TO GIZA"
album were in fact leftovers from the "DRUNKEN HILLBILLY
SESSIONS" that didn't seem to fit the theme of the album. For additional
recording information and details, see the PEYOTE
COYOTES RECORDING GUIDE, available from the contents page
of the PEYOTE COYOTES web
site.
