Lies
Alan Hampton
A stripped-down, emotionally rich version of the 1930 jazz standard — recorded in a single sitting at Hampton's Pasadena studio. Guitar, voice, upright bass. Two live takes. No overdubs. The warmth and immediacy captured with remarkable clarity.
"I wasn't trying to reinvent it. I just sat down and played it the way it felt that day. There's something beautiful about not overthinking it." — Alan Hampton
Vocals, Guitar, Bass — Alan Hampton · Produced by Matt Parker & Reggie Watkins · Recorded live at Andrew Carnegie Music Hall, PA · March 2025
