Release Notes:
Diamond Rugs is a collaboration between John
McCauley (Deer Tick), Robbie Crowell (Deer Tick),
Ian Saint PΘ (The Black Lips), Steve Berlin (Los
Lobos), Hardy Morris (Dead Confederate) and Bryan
Dufresne (Six Finger Satellite).
Not too dissimilar from the beginnings of Middle
Brother, McCauley decided he wanted to make another
record during his downtime in his new home base of
Nashville with producers Adam Landry and Justin
Collins (Middle Brother, Deer Tick). While
attending a Los Lobos show (one of his all-time
favorite bands), he made his way backstage and met
Steve Berlin. McCauley convinced Berlin to come to
Nashville to play on the record. Over the course of
the next month, he also managed to convince Saint
Pe (whom heÆd met once before), Morris (who had
opened for Deer Tick on tour) and his good friend
from his hometown of Providence, RI, Dufresne.
McCauley also recruited Deer Tick keys/sax player
Robbie Crowell to play bass on the album. What
happened next was entirely unexpected; the
musicians McCauley had recruited to play on his
record, ended up contributing their own songs to
the album and a fully-formed band emerged, rather
than a group of musicians playing on another
artistsÆ record.
The Diamond Rugs long player is going to be
released in the spring of 2012. It was recorded in
Nashville and produced by Adam Landry and Justin
Collins (Middle Brother, Deer Tick).
