Field trip to Shangri La...

Over and Under (Shangri La session) by Big Light

Recently I found myself at the legendary recording studio Shangri La in Malibu- hanging out with the house engineer, Eric Lynn (who's a great dude, great player, btw). The studio's history is almost too much to comprehend: scenes from "The Last Waltz" were shot there, and The Band's record 'Northern Lights-Southern Cross' and Clapton's 'No Reason To Cry' are just a few of the many, many great albums made there. My gracious host recorded me doing an acoustic take on 'Oven & Under', which you can listen to above. Marc would have played on the tune as well, but he was stuck in traffic. Seriously. -Freddy
