Final month, Hayden Pedigo introduced his new album I’ll Be Waving As You Drive Away. The Texas-born and Oklahoma Metropolis-based fingerstyle guitarist launched the opener “Lengthy Pond Lily,” and now he’s again with the title observe, which can also be the finale.
“The title is predicated on a 1978 episode of Little Home On The Prairie that also crushes me to today (search for the synopsis you probably have by no means seen it. Truly, simply go watch the episode if you happen to can),” Pedigo says, persevering with:
It’s so much completely different than something I’ve ever written earlier than. It has this virtually Chet Atkins/Merle Travis bounce to it that I’ve by no means earlier than on a music. It’s pulling from the basic Nineteen Fifties chord progressions that I’m a sucker for. It’s like Merle Travis’s model of “I’ll See You In My Desires” flipped on its head. The opening chord clusters are type of the Wizard of Oz second the place the display screen turns to paint and it type of brings the sense of marvel and thriller I actually love. It ends the album on the purest/sweetest notice attainable and seems like absolutely the excellent technique to finish this document.
