Long Black Veil
7.) Long Black Veil * (5:14) – In the winter of 2013, I was invited to perform at a Johnny Cash
birthday concert. In choosing the two songs to perform, I came upon this one, “Long Black
Veil”. I decided with both songs I was learning that I wanted to truly make them my own
arrangements. When I arrived at Neale Eckstein’s studio to record, he handed me a Gretsch
Brian Setzer model guitar. I played “Veil” for him and he immediately requested that we
record it, right then, regardless of the fact that I had just spent 6.5 hours driving from Buffalo to
Sudbury, MA!!! I originally had no intention of recording a cover for this record, but the results
were so good, I couldn’t possibly leave it off.
