Singled Out: J.R. Richards (Dishwalla) Pt VI
05/27/2009
.
(antiMusic) J.R. Richards made a name for himself fronting Dishwalla but this month he takes it a step further as he releases his new solo album, "A Beautiful End." Normally we ask the artist to tell us about just one song but we've waiting a long time for this album, so to celebrate we asked J.R. to pick some of his favorite songs from the album and tell us a little bit about each one. Here is J.R. with today's song "The Far End of the Black":This song was inspired by the feeling that I was finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel. And though it felt good to get this song on paper, I felt at the time that it wasn't good enough to make it on a record and set it aside. Later though, after having a few friends tell me that they thought I should finish it, I made a quick demo of it (just acoustic guitar and vocal) and included it with the other demos I sent to the musicians who would be playing on the record. This is where the song turned a corner. You see with most of the songs on the record I had a very specific idea of what I wanted. But with this one I had none.......... they made it come to life. And when I listen to it now it sounds like a classic record to me. I was fortunate to have some amazing players on the record. Drummer Kenny Aronoff, Bass Player Chris Chaney and guitarists Phil X and Rusty Anderson.
