Description
SHOOT THE SKY was mostly recorded in Molly Thomasâ€™ Nashville home. The album features 12 tracks with Thomas on vocals, violin, guitar, cello, bass, piano, moog, Hammond organ, mandolin, assorted percussion and, on the oddly buoyant â€œCrack Cocaineâ€�, some wonderfully trashy drumming. The albumâ€™s title is a nod to an unnamed lover whose self-destructive nature also destroys those who love him - even those who wish they did not. Thomas, who continues to be an in-demand live and session player, most recently for the likes of Todd Snider, Will Kimbrough, Matthew Ryan and Mindy Smith, gets some assistance from some of her peers on the album. Ryan, with whom Thomas has toured extensively, appears here as guitarist on the pleading title track and backing vocalist on the piano ballad â€œSleepâ€�, while his â€œI Hear A Symphonyâ€� provides the recordâ€™s lone cover. Houston-based artist Mando Saenz adds his voice to the album's slow-burn ballad of star-crossed love â€œBad Timingâ€�, which Seanz also co-wrote with Thomas.
