Here’s what our producer, Fernando Perdomo, has to say about the recording of Sadie. </p>
<p>“I saw Medicine Hat perform live before working with them in the studio. When I saw them, I saw a band with a perfectly crafted sound that was absolutely ready to go in the studio. Michelle and Robert have an incredible vocal blend. When recording "Sadie" I insisted on them singing together, facing eachother in the studio. What you are about to hear is an accurate representation of the essence of Medicine Hat.” </p>

Polly Parsons herself praised their latest album, 2019's Fences, as reminiscent of the music of her late father.

<p style="text-align: center;">Socially Distant Storytellers Bonus Post! <br>Shooting the cover was a blast! We often play a cool little spot called The Place in Ventucopa. We knew we wanted to shoot up that way when we decided on ‘Fences ‘ as the working title of the album. The scenery is gorgeous, it all had the right vibe we were striving for and to top it off, we got to have a delicious burger and a slice of Vicky’s homemade pie for lunch! Thanks for reading along. We hope you enjoy listening to Fences, as much as we did Writing and Recording it!<br> </p>

<p>Behind the Music: </p>
<p>This is another track off the album that we’ve been playing for quite some time and just hadn’t recorded yet. An imagined scenario of what may go down at a local, Ventura motel named the Crystal Lodge. There is a painted pink telephone booth in the parking lot that stands out as you don’t see too many pay phones (especially pink ones) around these days! Really fun to write! We wanted to give it a Spaghetti Western sort of feel, with lots of reverb a la James Wilsey style and of course our signature harmonies! It was fun adding the clave to this one for the finishing touch! </p>

<hr><p><strong>Behind the Music: </strong></p>
<p>This is a brand new song and was the last one recorded for the session. The basic riff came about as we were rehearsing with the band one night. It sounded really cool and Robert just free-styled some lyrics to help it along. I grabbed my phone to record it so we wouldn’t forget it, as happens so often with a jam session. We knew this one was really good! The verses further developed when Robert was on a week long backpacking trip in the Sierras last summer. They were inspired by the loss of our friend, Neal Casal, and when he returned, we ironed out the verses, wrote the chorus, bridge and spent a few sessions working out ideas for the solos. I had been practicing vocals on the piano when Robert came in and loved the sound of the keys. Two days later we took it to Earle’s! We hadn’t even performed it live yet, but we knew we had to be include it on this record! Especially poignant during this time when we all need to be there for one another!</p>

<p>Quote and Reviews:<br>“The Newest musical endeavor from the Ventura duo Medicine Hat has just enough twang, fiddle and great finger picking to qualify as a bonafide Americana album. Robert and Michelle have found their groove with this new record. A favorite is ‘Changes in the Weather’ with vocals that harken back to 60’s Laurel Canyon.” ~Polly Hoganson, Ones To Watch Presents</p>

<p>Behind the music: </p>
<p>We wrote this song about 3 or so years ago out at the beach (like so many others). We were camping and Robert jumped up like he was on fire and ran to the trailer for his guitar. “I had to strum it before it left my head” he said. He came out playing the beginning of the song. It was one that came quick and the ideas flowed naturally. When we needed a second part I remembered something I’d jumped out of the shower to record before I forgot it, sometime before and had never finished, but loved. The two seemed to fit together beautifully! Two sparks that made a fire! We’ve been playing it out as a duo and a full band for quite awhile now. So it continues to develop both as an acoustic/singer songwriter and electric/full band song. Super fun both ways and one of my all time favorites for sure! </p>

<p>Behind the Music: </p>
<p>We took this one to SXSW last year, as a brand new song. It was originally recorded while in Austin and was going to be on a live album. That project was ditched and we decided to return to Earle Mankey’s studio for the project. Erik Kristiansen lent his talent for the beautifully haunting pedal steel on the track. The idea came to Robert while returning from a walk one morning, while looking at the picket fence in his front yard. The house and fences might be metaphoric for a person or they might just be about an old house. Listener decides!</p>

<p>Behind the Music:</p>
<p>This was a fun one! Another story with some fun imagery. My favorite memories in the development of this song come more from the recording sessions. It’s an uptempo, strong rhythm that Rob nailed on both acoustics the first take! Not an easy feat. The scratch for the lead was so good, we ended up using the majority of it for the final mix. And the icing on the cake....getting our friend Hekar Rivera in there to play some violin! The interplay is awesome. He is one fine fiddler!</p>

<p>Behind the Music: </p>
<p>I remember a few different writing sessions working on this one. The first being one of our many backyard writing sessions, where Robert introduced the song to me by playing the signature opening lick on his guitar. Always keeping the wise words of Earle Mankey in our heads....”where’s the hook?”, we knew this was it. Robert had an idea about a woman either running from or to something (we still aren’t sure, you can interpret as you like) and had the first two lines, “left for California on a Monday. She said she had to head out West”. The next couple of sessions we bounced thoughts and lyrics back and forth weaving the rest of the tale and arranging echoing vocals in the style of the Mamas & the Papas (the latest listening obsession). This is a fun one to perform live, channeling our best Michelle, Cass, John and Denny! </p>

We recorded the entire record with Earle Mankey at his Psychedelic Shack in T.O. It was an honor and privilege to get to work with him once again! The recording was mastered by Guy Martin at Black Couch Studios, who is always a pro! The first track off the record is Rear View Mirror. Take a listen and enjoy the story! We’d love to hear your feedback and answer any questions you have in the comments!</p>

<p>Behind the Music: </p>
<p>So we had just played a gig in Huntington Beach and Robert randomly sang a line about only seeing through a rear view mirror. It stuck in my head and I knew it had to be a Medicine Hat song. I brought the rough sketch to practice and tried to describe the vibe and style I was feeling, an R.E.M. kind of jangly tune. Of course Robert knew exactly what I meant and we worked out a bridge, fine tuned the lyrics and arrangements and took it into the studio! This is one we really never even had a chance to play live, but maybe a few times. It’s going to be fun when we can finally get the full band out for the performance of this song!</p>

<p>"Fences, reminds me of Gram Parsons, with beautiful Steel Guitar that just haunts the soul" ~ Polly Parsons/Daughter of Gram Parsons</p>
<p>“Medicine Hat's new release invokes the wide open space of the American West with the High Lonesome Harmonies of Gram Parsons and Emmy Lou Harris, while still retaining their own distinct sound. "~ Annette Zilinskas/Blood On The Saddle, The Bangles, Medicine, The Ringling Sisters </p>
<p>"The Newest Musical Endeavor from the Ventura Duo Medicine Hat, has just enough twang, fiddle and great finger picking to qualify as a bonafide Americana album. A favorite is Changes In The Weather, with vocals that harken back to 60's Laurel Canyon." ~ Polly Hoganson/Ones To Watch Presents</p>

<p>We’ve been presented with an opportunity to record six of our original songs at Austin Signal Studios in a Single-Mic Session while in town for SXSW. With some incredibly talented local musicians joining us on the project, this unique session will be recorded live and available on both CD and vinyl. The experience of recording in a high end studio, situated in this music mecca and working with this caliber of talent would mean so much to us as artists. <br>We are working hard at raising the funds necessary, but with limited time before we head out in March, any help would be greatly appreciated! Any donor contributing $20 or more will be sent a free cd as a thank you! <br>We look forward to sharing this project with you all! </p>

The band went into the studio a year ago and spent the next 5 months working on their first album, "Whiskey And Waves", and what would be voted the "Best Local Release" of 2015 in the VCReporter reader's poll. The band played shows throughout the Ventura area as well as Santa Barbara, gaining new fans along the way. They shot a Youtube promotional video for "Another Sad Song", using it to promote their spot at The Roadshow Revival. Closing the year up with an appearance on the television premier of Venturarocks.com Events Calendar Show on CAPS-TV Ventura. What an amazing year, indeed. 2016 promises to be even more exciting and action packed.

While post-power-pop-alt-country-desert-stoner-rock (PPPACDSR as fans like to call it) is a relatively young genre, <em>Whiskey & Waves</em> is its <em>Sgt. Pepper</em>."

But most songs are rooted in Country, where I can envision people two-steppin’ to such tunes as “Whiskey and Waves,” “Another Sad Song,” as well of “Scared of You” which has additional electric guitar courtesy of Neal Casal." ~ Pam BaumgardnerMedicine Hattag:medicinehatmusic.net,2005:Post/37920062015-07-28T12:53:49-07:002015-07-28T12:53:49-07:00CD Release Party, Aug. 2 The release party for Medicine Hat's debut album "Whiskey And Waves" with special guests, The Mutineers, is going to be at Saloon BBQ, Sunday, Aug 2, 3-6pm.<br><br>"...a new full-length album which for fans of Americana music should be the most anticipated release of the year.” — Chris Jay, VC Reporter<br><br> Medicine Hattag:medicinehatmusic.net,2005:Post/37650222015-07-03T14:39:45-07:002018-07-07T14:30:10-07:00Kind words from guitar builder/luthier, Randy Parsons."Another great performance by Medicine Hat!

The group is based in Ventura. Their first album is due to be released in June 2015. They are excited about the prospects when we interviewed the lead singer. EL and I both agreed that Main Street needs more bands like this.... to demonstrate their songwriting abilities... Covers are getting grotesque on Main lately. Jonny Reese provided a fair share of happy hour prices when the band appeared 6pm - 9pm. Thank you Jonny.... let's be sure to get more of the original artistic performances for ALL OF VENTURA to enjoy.... LONG LIVE THE ORIGINAL PERFORMING ARTIST ON MAIN STREET.
