Full Service No Waiting
''Full Service No Waiting'' is the sixth album by the American singer-songwriter Peter Case, released in 1998. History ''Full Service No Waiting'' was recorded quickly and on a tight budget. Case commented in an interview for '' No Depression'': "Maybe our limitations worked for us on this one. “It was the freedom of the shoestring that allowed us to go with early takes, and work in a real energetic way. The whole process of going in and making a record can be kind of overwhelming. Even when you’ve done it a lot, it can clamp down on the spontaneity of the music. This time we really made a point of catching things when they were really fresh, and really alive — before they’d gotten run into the ground. So besides probably being my favorite record to work on, I think it was one of the quickest I’ve done." Case rented a room in a nearby town to write the music for the album. Of the process of writing, he said, "I worked four hours every day, from 9 in the morning until 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
