CHRIS PELTON

  CONTRARY BLUES
    

 

Contrary Blues is an EP by Knoxville songwriter Chris Pelton. Chris has played solo and in local bands (including Green Howlers, the Fort Marxmen, and Cold Pony) since the 1980s. These tracks were recorded by Don Coffey Jr. at the former Stealth Studio as part of an attempt to finally get a few of Chris' songs on tape. Some of Knoxville's finest musicians helped out at the sessions including brother Chad Pelton (mandolins and singing), John Davis (steel guitar), Peg Hambright (fiddle and accordian), Scott Carpenter (guitar), and John Wright (bass).

The basic vocal and guitar tracks were recorded live in 1-2 takes over two nights in November 2002. Additional tracks were laid down in early 2003. Drink was taken.

It's not exactly blues, but it is contrary.
