The Burning North “Gainesville (1 am)”
Americana Highways presents this premiere of The Burning North’s song “Gainesville 1 AM” from their forthcoming self-titled album. The album was produced by Marco Giovino, co-produced by Thomas Siering, arranged by both Marco Giovino and Thomas Siering, and mixed and engineered by Sam Margolis. It was recorded at Dagotown Recorders in Jefferson, Massachussetts, and mastered by Tom Waltz.
“Gainesville (1 am)” is Wendy Drown on vocals; Chris Rival on electric and slide guitar; Andy Santospago on electric guitar, pedal steel, and acoustic guitar; Neal Pawley on bass, acoustic guitar, and baritone guitar; Marco Giovino on drums and percussion; Kelly Knapp on background vocals; Bruce Bears on piano and organ; and Thomas Juliano on acoustic guitar and electric guitar.
This song is a poignant heart wrencher for anyone who’s traveled and felt the pull of a forbidden tryst, as they realize it won’t come to anything substantial. It’s about the heartache of desire, told over a sincere musical arrangement that’s subtle and magnetic with confessional truths like: “I love the music but I fear for my soul.”
This song was written for my friend Mary. It’s about being a female singer and being on the road. – Thomas Siering
