Premiere: Tyler Hood ‘Bulldoze My Love’ – Taken From The Latest ‘The Magnolia Sessions’ That Releases Today
After a six-month wait since the release of Jade Brodie and her The Magnolia Sessions, we at The Shaman are thrilled with the news that Black Matter Mastering and Anti-Corporate Music head honcho Dan Emery is bringing this much-loved sessions back. The first release in the now third series is from country and folk singer-songwriter Tyler Hood, and as a taster of things to come, we’re elated to bring you the intimate and stripped back track Bulldoze My Love.
About the track, Tyler Hood says, ‘Bulldoze My Love is a yearning song for something just out of reach. The proverbial goal finds itself too far away but close enough you can almost touch it more often than not. I believe this is everyone’s story.’
As for the recording, Tyler reflects, ‘These nine songs were recorded in the heat of a Tennessee August night. The crickets asked to sing, and we obliged. The mosquitoes however, fought for silence until the last note faded out. I’m happy to share these songs that might not have seen the light of day outside of a stripped down format like The Magnolia Sessions. I give many thanks to everyone involved.’
While Dan Emery adds, ‘Tyler was one of very few artists to come and pretty much recorded everything in one solid pass. He only retook one song, and we ended up not even using that take. All the songs were recorded in the order that they are presented here. The session was basically exactly how it runs on the release, with only a few seconds of dead time cut between some songs to keep the pace. Sessions like Tyler‘s are the ones that remind me of the reason I started doing this series. To present honest art in its most raw stripped-down nature.’
