When I was younger, I made an album with my friends for my friends in a magical little studio called Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, Mississippi. Later, I worked in that studio for several years as an engineer and background vocalist for anyone who came to record there. Starting this album, I knew I wanted to go back and record again with the same group of friends after learning and growing so much there, so that's where the name came from. Full Circle. We recorded the basic tracks live to tape - some of these songs are first takes - and did minimal overdubbing. I wanted it to sound like us right then and there. All of the lead vocals are live and on the spot, imperfections and all, but as the studio owner Matt Patton says, ""a recording is a photograph."" This album is a collection of captured moments made in Mississippi by the very people I love there.
