Gabe doesn’t have as many songs about trains as he thought he would at this point. But, he does have a new record out on Old Quarter Records. It’s a live recording from the historic Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe on Galveston Island. It is a complete snapshot of a Gabe Wootton show.
Songwriter Pete Fields has been ramblin’ again, which means songs are not far behind.
Since last November, Fields has been on a whiteknuckle ride that’s taken him from his former home of Las Cruces, New Mexico to his old former home of the Bay Area in California, finally settling in his future former home of New Orleans in the last month or so. Along the way he’s had to endure helping out his mom after his stepfather passed, to getting let go from his job and, well, COVID-19. Luckily for him and his band Slow Motion Cowboys, Fields is a songwriter whose craftsmanship is very much enriched with the space the highway and outdoors provide, giving him the opportunity to whittle his thoughts and perspectives into the shapes of songs.
He’s already starting to think of the ways in which to write and record a new batch of songs now that he’s more settled in New Orleans, possibly a follow up to Slow Motion Cowboys’ most recent album Sun Burnt Feather. A true troubadour, Fields has always prioritized his songs and has constructed a life of patchwork jobs and travel that all balance on the fulcrum of his songs. It’s not an easy life necessarily, but it is rewarding and one that has allowed Slow Motion Cowboys to flourish resiliently like wildflowers in the desert.
