The BoatCast... this is your TRiBe

The BoatCast Boys had the pleasure of welcoming back their dear friend, Scott Terry, frontman of Red Wanting Blue. Scott joined them to discuss their highly anticipated new album, "Light It Up," set to release on June 7th. They delved into the creative process behind the album, which Scott proudly considers their best work yet. He shared insights into the band's journey of capturing their essence in music, the conceptual nature of the album, and the collaborative efforts that brought it to life.

Scott also gave a fascinating look into the album's artwork, created by his older brother, and the story behind the captivating cover image of an albino deer. They explored the logistics of creating an album when band members live in different locations and how the pandemic influenced their creative process. Scott highlighted the importance of collaboration, mentioning contributions from notable artists like Will Hogue, Emerson Hart, and Tim Warren.

They also discussed the band's innovative approach to recording, which involved taking their time and focusing on one or two songs at a time, allowing each track to inform the next. This method, inspired by advice from Emerson Hart, proved to be a game-changer for the band. In addition to the album talk, they announced an exciting contest for listeners, offering a chance to win exclusive Red Wanting Blue merchandise, including a Light Bright, a puzzle, a white vinyl, a CD, and a guitar pick. To participate, listeners need to answer two questions about Scott's previous appearance on the podcast and identify a special word mentioned in this episode.

Scott's enthusiasm for the new album and the creative process was infectious, and they can't wait for everyone to hear "Light It Up." Be sure to pre-order the album and stay tuned for more exciting content from Red Wanting Blue.
