Blood from a Stone (lyrics) – gschmitt discusses this song from The Year in Pictures

The groove is really the heart of this song. I wanted an almost hip-hop feel in the rhythm section and I had Sakko lock up the bass with the drums.

I was playing with two intertwining guitar parts on this one. The guitars are panned from ear to ear and I was pretty insistent on that in order for the interplay to stand out.

Carlos Cintron engineered this recording and he had, “But you might be fine”, stuck in his ear for weeks. He tells me, “…guess I did something right.”
