Track organized by Bruce Duff, written by Frank Meyer will benefit Jubilee Consortium, Sweet Relief Musicians Fund
After Duff got the demo, he asked Steve Kravac to replace the drum machine with live drums, and then started sending the song out to an array of artists, asking them to overdub their parts from the safety of their homes. “The response was great!” Duff says. “The result has the energy and urgency the song demanded.”
Watt, who’s one of three bassists on the song, says, “As soon as I got the email request from Bruce Duff, I let him know I was in and came up with bass for the tune — he said I was the first track in! Glad to be aboard and hopefully we’re part of something to help out somehow with this COVID-19 hell that’s on us.”
Eddie Spaghetti of Supersuckers, a featured vocalist, adds: “I’m in a band that makes its living on the road, and that has been taken away from me for who knows how long, so this project is important to me on many levels.
“These are dark times,” says Cotton, who also sings on “Flatten the Curve.” “Historians will write books about it and scientists will be grappling with this for a long, long time but right now we just have to find a way to live through it and hopefully learn something in the process. This song won’t change anyone’s worldview per se but it feels great to be putting something positive out there for people to have a little fun with.
