about

Hastily recorded home recordings, Dec 2021-Jan 2022
Mostly first takes

1. You Owe It To Yourself
This was written to be the penultimate track on an aborted concept album / rock opera about a corrupted “mama’s boy” (see track 3). This song finds our lamb-like protagonist, having now been seduced by the lure of necromancy, in congress with demons.

2. Bad Habit
Everything I write in open G tuning (DGDGBD) sounds like I’m trying to rip off Keef or Westerberg. Which…well, you know.

3. Mama’s Boy
Written for the aforementioned (aborted) concept album / rock opera. This would have been an early track on the record introducing the main character.

4. What Am I Gonna Do (With You)?
Written and recorded in record time. Sorry about the canned drums.

All songs by JJT, Dec 2021-Jan 2022
Recorded at home
Thanks for the support
