Today's "hit" comes from Huckleberry
Los Angeles: Late 2007;
Walter Bell and I met Daniel Rogers back-stage at a Hanson performance in 2005. We invited him and his girlfriend back to the house that night. They became very close with everyone in the house. Dan and I started playing guitar and writing songs together.
5 Things you may not know - "Diamond Ring"
1. Daniel was living in the back room of the booking agent for several venues around Hollywood. Late after a party, Daniel was playing a riff and humming some tune with the others in the room when the first lines of "Diamond Ring" came to me.
2. It was one of those moments when the entire song was written in an instant, even though we didn't finalize most of the lyrics until we recorded the song a month later.
3. We recorded "Diamond Ring" at my home in Valley Village. One day, I ran into one of my favorite bass players, Brad Smith of Blind Melon, at a fast food joint. I learned that he lived on the next street over from me.
4. Daniel and I wrote and recorded a few other Huckleberry tunes at that house and other various lofts and back houses around Hollywood before leaving on an indefinite tour of the back roads of America.
5. Natalie Mishell ran into Dan and I a week or so before we left LA and dropped everything to join us on the road. Her vocals on Diamond Ring were recorded in a hotel in Blue Springs, Missouri.
