Pi Jacobs “Too High Too Low”
Americana Highways presents this premiere of Pi Jacobs’ song “Too High Too Low” from her forthcoming album Soldier On, which was co-produced with Eric Corne and is due to be released on April 26 via Blackbird Record Label. This song was co-written by Pi Jacobs and Ted Russell Kamp. Soldier On was recorded in Los Angeles at Carriage House and Forty Below Records. It was engineered and mixed by Eric Corne and mastered by Mark Chalecki.
“Too High Too Low” is Pi on guitar, lead vocals and backing vocals; Adam Hall on dobro and banjo; Zack Hall on upright bass; Butch Norton on drums and percussion; and Eric Corne on harmonica. Groovy and rootsy, with shakers and a lonesome harmonica, this song embodies what it advises: take it easy, take a deep breath and slow your roll. What do you do when something is so exciting you fear you’ll burst, or so dull you want to run away? Even out, don’t get too high or too low!
I was working with a producer a few years ago, when I burst in the studio screaming with excitement about some big show. He looked right at me and said ‘Pi, don’t get too high… but also, don’t get too low.’ When I was writing this song with Ted Russell Kamp, I told him that story, and we decided that the song should be about the best gig we ever had, and the worst one! Anybody who lives passionately, experiences big swings in life. Ours just happen to play out in public! So, I have to constantly remind myself to stay steady. – Pi Jacobs
