Free Music for You: The NEW "East Ridge Song"
Bill and Ernie "Phil Spector" Paik pretend to be discussing the music during the recording session for the new "East Ridge Song," December 29, 2007.
In honor of East Ridge, Tennessee's recent triumphant announcement, Ernie Paik and I spent nine hours in his home studio Saturday recording a brand new, super hickified version of a certain minor local YouTube hit. I hope you find this new version to be a tad better, slicker, and a few seconds longer than its predecessor. Click here to hear/download it. (160 kbps mp3)

Brings a tear to my eye. You need to do one for Redbank.

The mouth harp and sharpie really kick it up a notch! And obviously the violin. Can't wait for the video. I'm picturing a Soggy Bottom Boys look for you guys..

This is a brilliant arrangement. I had visualized a whole segment with a gospel choir, but it would have been out of place alongside the fiddle, mouth harp and "Dukes of Hazzerd" guitar.
I'm glad you did the "Amaaaaaazzziiiing East Ridge" part. That really sings.
Nice work. Let's make a new video.
