DANCING UNDER WATER was
originally issued on cd
only in 1991 on
California's Amoeba
records. It is
Freakwater's second
record. Freakwater's
core of Janet Beveridge
Bean, Catherine Irwin,
and Dave Gay were
augmented on this
recording by John
Speigal-dobra banjo,
slide guitar and pedal
steel and John Floss -
additional pedal steel as
well as some fancy fiddle
work. The record was
recorded at Idful Music
by Brad Wood who has
recorded all their
subsequent records. For
re-issue the record was
remixed by Bundy K Brown.
Originally the band had
no time to spend on
mixing. With the
re-issue Freakwater
wanted the sound of the
record to be closer to
the sound of a live
performance. The record
was re-mastered by Ardent
studio's Larry Nix
(mastered many of Al
Green's Hi
recordings).
Dancing Under Water has
been out of print for
several years, as Amoeba
is no longer in
operation, and the band
was primarily interested
in re-issuing this record
because of the Irwin
originals and the Michael
O'Bannon song written for
Freakwater - the bitterly
sad "Scratches on the
Door". If you have ever
had the pleasure of
seeing Freakwater live
then you're probably
familiar with "A Song You
Could Cry For" but the
rarely performed gems
like "Blood and Fire" and
"Your Goddamn Mouth" are
favorites that you are
sure to enjoy.
