"Michael Told Me"

3 weeks ago | sggoodman.substack.com | S.G. Goodman

One thing I’ve learned to appreciate about Substack is that I can carry on for as long as I’d like. Today, I released a song called “Michael Told Me” from my new album, and the truth is that even the opportunity to speak in long form about it here feels constraining. If I had it my way, I would take all of you on a drive through my town of Murray, and walk you all into the back yard of an old rental house I lived in to see if the blackberries were coming in.

“Snapping Turtle” (Official Music Video)I am very excited today to debut “Snapping Turtle,” the latest offering from my new album Planting by the Signs. I’ve also got a beautiful and miraculous video to share, directed by Elaine McMillion Sheldon. More on that below. But first a little bit on where this song came from…For some reason, I want to say I was around 14 years-old when I was asked to drive my Daddy’s truck from our house to the Lower Bottoms.

Studio BTS by Ryan HarlteyI’m releasing a new single, “Snapping Turtle,” next Wednesday, May 14. During the recording of Planting by the Signs, I had my talented friend Ryan Hartley film the entire studio process. Before I left for our Australian tour, I had him bounce all the files to a hard drive so that I could look over the footage during my downtime.
The making of "Satellite"

Last year, after the boys and I finished up with a short run across the pond, I stayed behind and spent a little time in Spain. My flight home was on one of those budget airlines. Despite what it lacked in amenities, it made up for in character. That was one of the only plane rides of my life where I KNEW someone had lit up a cigarette, and to be honest, I don’t blame them. The thing had no internet and you were only allowed two beverages the entire flight.

Well, if you listen until the end, you may notice a doorbell shouting right as I was about to go into my tale about meeting a cab driver in Birmingham, AL. You’ll have to check in next week for that voice note, it may be the best story out of the bunch. Enjoy some photos of our little piss break in lovely Pleasant Hill. As well as local legend, Alligator Bill. Hate to leave good company,SGMrs.

New album, new single

Well, it’s time to officially stop doing the “tease that something is about to happen” stuff. STUFF has happened. My new album Planting by the Signs is officially announced, as well as a single drop. This marks the official end of the Teeth Marks era, the longest album cycle in the history of mankind. I know for industry standards I took my time with this release, I didn’t rush any part of the process, even though I felt the pressure to do so at times.

It’s not that I haven’t had an interest in engineering, because I do enjoy fiddling around with all the knobs, but to be good at recording yourself you have to dedicate a lot of hours to that craft. I always say when it comes to being proficient at recording or even playing instruments, that I missed out on what I refer to as the middle school years.
I'll get right to it.

I’ll get right to it, I’m releasing a new album this year. Yep, you heard it here first, and this is where I’ll be giving the most of myself as far as going into great detail about it all. I’ve been working hard behind the scenes, staying away from the screens for the sake of new music. I hope that is a good enough excuse for the lack of entries on this medium. I will be getting around to releasing a new season of “Country Calm.” Thanks to all the folks who have gotten behind that weird endeavor.
