Chris Wall
With the long awaited release of his sixth album Just Another Place Wall continues to plow new furrows into the rich ground that is country music. Never one to spend much time in the past; here he reaches for a new take on the oldest of country themes, heartache, loss, failure, and how he deals with them. By writin’ songs. This newest project was recorded during the course of three uniquely different sessions over the span of four years. The first is a purely live acoustic session at an old farm house in Round Top, Texas. The subsequent two were done at The Cribworks Studio in Austin. The focus of Just Another Place is on the songs, and finding the most appropriate instrumentation and sound. Wall enlisted many of his friends—some of Austin’s finest pickers—to round out the project. The Round Top sessions feature vocal harmonies from Bruce Robison, Paul Cotton (formerly of Poco) and Merel Bregante (a veteran of the Gary Morris Band and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, among many others). The Cribworks sessions feature members of Wall’s own Cowboy Nation band.
