From Fernando: released November 10, 2017
20 years ago, Portland was a very different town…
I moved to Portland from Los Angeles trying to out run a nasty cocaine addiction and a failed marriage. It took me a couple of years to mend my broken heart and probably a little longer to stop snorting lines off public bathroom toilets but… I’d finally found a place that felt like home. I met kind folks in this city that let me live with them when I had no other place to go. I met others who gave me shit when they caught me doing drugs after swearing that I was clean, I met the love of my life and… I met lifelong friends that would help me make Widows.
Clayton Jones, Daniel Eccles, Joe Chiusano, Marilee Horde and I descended into Johnny Beluzzi’s basement studio (KAOS) in NE Portland sometime in 1997 amongst plumes of marijuana smoke and youthful optimism to try to capture (in three days) the energy and passion of our cathartic live shows. We wanted to record something that sounded raw, ragged and not slick like the country records that were being made in Nashville at this time and listening back now, I think that we did a damn good job of capturing the energy and spirit of the band.
Many years have gone by since these sessions took place and yes, this town is a very different place but one thing that has not changed is the love that I feel for the folks that I made this music with and how thankful I am to Portland for giving me a second chance at life.
