Bootcut

Out Now

Well here it is.

Album #6: Bootcut.

That’s a lot of albums since this thing started sometime around 2009.

Some of you have been around since then. Thank you for that, or for whenever you came on board.

This one was made in Nashville with actual professionals who have a bunch of cool people that people put next their names in parentheses (Elvis, Johnny Cash). That way you know that they’re better at music than you

We recorded 17 songs in 4 days and these are probably the best ones. Will show clips of some more that didn’t make it on down the road. Stay tuned for that I suppose.

Put the lyrics and liner notes into ChatGPT and this is what it said:

"BOOTCUT" is more than just an album; it's a musical odyssey into the depths of human emotion and connection. Bahamas, the mastermind behind this musical masterpiece, is joined by a stellar cast of musicians who bring his introspective songwriting to life. With soulful vocals, intricate melodies, and heartfelt lyrics, "BOOTCUT" invites you to explore the complexities of love, vulnerability, and self-discovery. Join Bahamas on this unforgettable musical journey that transcends genres and speaks directly to the heart. 

Here are the liner notes in case you want to try to do better. Tag @bahamasmusic in your write ups or just email them our way. And enjoy Bootcut in the meantime.

Thank you to all who are a part:
