2014 - New Album Now Available
The second album by The Bus Driver Tour, “Halfway Between”, is a vintage style album complete with tube distortion, raw expression and the gleam of imperfection.
The decision to make such an album came out of a mixture of timing and philosophy. The band was eager to record an album that captured the honesty that often gets lost in overproduction. With only four days to record while on Spring Tour, they teamed up with producer Noel Webster, prior owner of Muscle Shoals Sound Studio. The model made sense in Noel’s studio, a working museum of analog recording artifacts and the perfect place to capture that large, live, vintage sound.
The original Muscle Shoals building was used by the Black Keys to record their album “Brother”, which Noel received a platinum record for, and “The Muscle Shoals Sound” was instrumental in recording legendary tracks by artists ranging from Bob Dylan and Paul Simon to The Rolling Stones and Lynrd Skynrd.
The gear that was used on Halfway Between is somewhat of a secret. The recording is mostly live with very little overdubbing, and the vintage spirit makes for an album that could have come from the reel to reel studio days of the 60’s or 70’s. Recorded as a snapshot of an honest performance, the band hopes that the vulnerabilities of the album captured on classic equipment give it all a little magic.
Digital copies of the album can be found on iTunes and at TheBusDriverTour.bandcamp.com. Physical copies can be purchased from any live BDT show and at CDBaby.
