Aaron - It was my understanding that the Kickstarter CD "prizes" were mailed. Please contact Dave Boat boatvox@gmail.com if you didn't get yours. Thanks for everything - Jim
Because Honeyfingers members are on tour, or out of the Country, the release was delayed- I believe the digital downloads occur in conjunction with the press and media- around Sept 1, I think. Contact Dave Boat boatvox@gmail.com (or one can use the Kickstarter contact info which Dave might prefer) for inquiries regarding Kickstarter prizes.
I just listened to the album, and it's even better than I hoped. I think "Sweet Nothings" is my favorite track, but they're all really good. I particularly enjoyed how many layers there are to the sound. You guys are really tight, yet you manage to weave around each other really well. It must be a treat to play with such great musicians.

I agree with you guys - great songs and great dynamics between the players! What stands out at first listen is that it's clearly a collaborative effort from top musicians who enjoy playing with each other. I bet these sessions must have been fun!
BlueCajun: "Sweet Nothings" is basically the "Country Soul" lesson in LBM. and I too am digging that as i did that one a few months back and still play it. I really love the way it came out on this recording. beautiful!
really loving this new album. the new stuff as well as the unique takes on revisited tracks. I will be listening to this a lot!! Jim and the HF really outdid themselves... not that I expected anything less than stellar!
halouis: Thank you for letting me know about the "Country Soul" lesson. I had no idea. And I was this close to requesting "Sweet Nothings" in the lessons suggestion sticky.
Just listening to the clips on BN.com, interesting how full, sweet and layered it sounds. I dig it. Must say re-recording tunes off earlier albums had me worried, but I am so happy this is out! Thanks!
Loved the article! Just picked up my copy on iTunes. Fantastic work! There is no faking chemistry and the entire groups sounds great together. I've always loved Jim's playing and can't say enough. There is a synergy between Luca and Jim on Splitsville that is magical. Love the melodic head and Luca added a rhythmically intense part that really drives the tune in a unique way.
ANOTHER great interview with Jim, about Honeyfingers, in the new Guitar Player magazine, BB King on the cover, Oct 2015 issue. It'll be on their website eventually, I imagine.
Fascinating how the "band" kind of "formed"... playing rehearsals as gigs and stuff.... I know that's not the norm in the NY metro area, I guess any metro area?
Also, the "very few overdubs" just goes to show how talented all of you are, I see a lot more of the "playing live to record" thing in recent years....
