Screaming In The Wind is Dudley Taft’s third solo effort.

This is the first solo album I have done produced by someone outside the band. Several songwriting sessions in Nashville with producer Tom Hambridge and songwriter Richard Fleming helped the songs take shape before recording. It was refreshing to work with other great songwriters for the first time, and it gives Screaming In The Wind a different flavor.

Reese Wynans of Stevie Ray Vaughan fame plays some wicked B3 organ on the CD. He really shines on a bunch of the songs, elevating them to levels I never imagined. Check out his ripping solo on “The Reason Why”.

Tom Hambridge called in the best musicians for select overdubs: The McCray sisters bring smooth gospel harmonies to “Barrio” and the Muscle Shoals Horn Section shines on Freddie King’s “Pack It Up.”

So far I have done a Freddie King song on every CD, and this was no exception. I love the funky vibe and tight arrangement of “Pack It Up.” We poured gasoline on it and lit a match.

The song “Screaming In The Wind” started as a custom instrumental riff I did for the American Blues Scene. They told me it should be a song, and I think it may have turned out to be one of the strongest on the record. Tom Hambridge and I worked hard to find the key imagery in the lyrics to tell the story.

The riff from Skip James’ “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues” got stuck in my head last year, and I thought giving it a Zeppelin “Black Dog” kind of interpretation would be fresh.

The final song on the CD “Say You Will” has what I call an epilogue, where the gears shift and some David Gilmore influence surfaces, taking the listener off into oblivion. That was such a fun track to record!
