New Tom Foolery & Miss Chiff song now available!
- April 12, 2016
I was lucky enough to get Granger Beem to play on two songs for me while I was at Doppler Studios: "At Least I Got The Blues" by Bluesmen Asunder (check it out here), which was released last year, and "She's Your Little Girl, Not Mine" by Tom Foolery & Miss Chiff. This song is a duet with my wife, Kris Hale, and the song is (loosely) about our dear Rottweiler named Theo. I played guitar, bass and percussion.
You can check it out on the Tom Foolery & Miss Chiff Music page.
Bluesmen Asunder track now available!
- February 28, 2015
This one's a doozy...it was recorded at the legendary Doppler Studios in Atlanta GA, in Studio E on their big, beautiful SSL 4000E/G console. The piano is Yamaha C7 that lived in Studio E, that was played by the likes of Little RIchard, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Chuck Leavell, Paul Shafer, and David Foster during it's tenure there...and it was masterfully played on this track by none other than Jim Ellis, a prominent Atlanta composer/songwriter who kept an office at Doppler Studios for many years there before Doppler closed. Jim Ellis was the composer for the end credits music for the TV show WKRP in Cincinnati, and performed the "scat" vocal part in that recording (which is the only vocal part that Jim recorded). Jim also played the Hammond B3 organ on this Bluesmen Asunder song.
The incredibly tasteful drumming on this song is courtesy of Granger Beem, a long-time engineer at Doppler from the mid-80s through their heyday in the 90s and all the way up until they closed for good in 2016. Granger was very kind to not only play on this track and Tom Foolery & Miss Chiff's "She's Your Little Girl, Not Mine" but to also offer help and assistance to me on an almost daily basis when I was fortunate enough to work at Doppler with him. And then the vocals are provided by Jaye Nelson, who honed his souflful vocal skills while singing back-up for Little Richard. And then you already know me, and Kris Hale...
Check out the song on the Music page in the Stephen Carrington section.

Rastafüt recordings released!
- September 11, 2010
Sludge Hammer Records has released pretty much everything that Rastafüt ever recorded, in The Compleat Rastafüt (SHR10-005). Featuring virtually every song recorded in all four recording sessions throughout 1992, this disc has 18 tracks spanning the entire gamut.
Disconnected and disparate lyrics, wild and illogical musical mood swings, naïve performances, yes...there's some of that. We were seventeen years old, and between the two of us (Chris Fields and Stephen Carrington), Chris was the only one that really knew how to play. But in these songs you can hear an originality and a distinct creativity that is difficult to categorize, and quite ambitious. Give it a listen in the Rastafüt Music section; read more about Rastafüt on their Info page; and form your own opinion.
Then buy the CD in the Rastafüt Merch section.
