about

On or about 2005 I had moved my recording studio into an abandoned downtown hotel in Clarksdale Mississippi. It was called the Alcazar Hotel. It was four stories, a lobby, mezzanine, kitchens and etc off abandoned decrepitudes. Seemingly, all the upstairs rooms had been abandoned in
haste as there were many strange reliсs of peoples possessions
strewn about. In fact, the whole place just seemed to have shut down a while back.

Anyways, the studio was on the ground floor of what had been a dress shop. It had 15 foot ceilings of plaster and a large solid plaster-walled room. The power was a bit shady as I recall. I cut Elvis Costello's"Monkey To Man" track there as well as his entire "Delta Verite" record. Oh yeah, other things were a bit shady there as well... In the off hours, I began having informal recording parties up in there, focusing on the weird old southern folk vernacular. Yank Ratchell, Ishmon Bracy, Charley, Patton and Jimmie Rogers. I Hollered at some friends and we would gather 'round the big old RCA 77 microphone & let errrip. Some of these friends included Luther & Cody Dickinson, Steve Selvidge Andrew Bird, Paul Taylo. Lightnin' Malcom & Hawkeye Jordan.

Originally released on a boutique label in 2006, Old
Scool Hot Wings has been remixed and remastered by ace studio
producer Alex Holeman.

Enjoy this record as it was initially intended,
Yours,
Jimbo Mathus
