Tried so hard to achieve so little is the 39th release from Stabercrombie Music.
It is the story of struggling to stay UP when the world is on its way down.
It is a parable about using the internet to connect instead of dividing.
It is a tale of conquerors who failed to conquer.
It is a fable about the inevitable ride DOWN when summer fades and the food is used up.
Collaborators included musicians from established bands, artists who had never recorded music, and everyone in between. Locations included Athens, GA, Hamburg, Germany, Madison, WI, San Diego, CA, and Nashville, TN. Some of these people are tall, others short, many like frogs, most care for vibrations of strings, several are suspected as being pro-music, a few a down on their luck, a couple are in their golden age, at least one might be completely fabricated, 2 have ties to subversive knitting, one is a fucking bass player, and most all are confirmed to be alive and creative in the 21st Century despite existing and potential challenges.
