about

The solo guitar debut from Montana-based guitarist and songwriter Catfish Carl. Recitations was recorded in Tulsa, Oklahoma at momma's house and in the mobile home in Alabam, Arkansas. This record is an act of remembering, a conjuring of family feelings and a reflection on grief.

"The beautiful things we shall write if we have talent are inside us, indistinct, like the memory of a melody which delights us though we are unable to recapture its outline, or to hum it. Talent is like a sort of memory. There comes a time in life when talent, like the memory, flags, when the mental muscle which brings both internal and external memories closer no longer has any strength left. In some this age lasts all through life, from lack of exercise or a too quick self-satisfaction. And no one will ever know, not even oneself, the melody that had been pursuing you with its elusive and delectable rhythm."

-From Contre Sainte-Beuve, an unfinished book of essays written by Marcel Proust.
