Over two short sessions Darrell brought in a trio of jam buddies under the name of Hunting for Elephants in America and we recorded two tracks for mandolin, guitar and vocals. The first track we recorded featured the mandolin and the lyrics sounded familiar. I remember months prior when I met Darrell he was just starting to put the words together. We were having a late night ad lib session and “Patience and Cigarettes” received its full writing treatment in the meantime. The second song we recorded was with the same instrumentation. Please enjoy a taste of what our afternoon sounded like:
