I hereby notify the world (read: the 3 people that read this blog) that I am starting pre-production for my full-length solo album. It will be a self-titled project, released under the moniker of Trainwreck McGee.
The album will be made up of songs that were not tried by Lone Strangers, didnt’ have the right sound, didn’t make the cut, or aren’t yet complete. It will sound nothing like the Lone Strangers, except for when it does. I anticipate that the sound will be in the pop-blues-country-rock-roots-hiphop-disco-U2 vein. I will do all vocals and play all instruments, except for the times when someone else plays and/or sings.
“Trainwreck McGee” will be released sometime in the next one to forty years, plausibly while I am still alive. If I pass away before it’s finished, I trust that you will piece together the tracks, have better musicians come in and replay the parts, then release it posthumously in my honor. Perhaps a CD release party at my funeral. Or 30th birthday party. Are they synonymous?
If the Strangers don’t play them first, I anticipate that it will feature tunes such as an ode to the stay-at-home Mom (”Obligatory Song About Heroine”), and conclude with my swan-song, “Ugly Duckling Song.”
Consider yourselves warned: Trainwreck McGee, derailing soon. Or later.
