Although Trey Anastasio composed the songs on his latest release Shine without the assistance of his longtime songwriting partner Tom Marshall, their collaborative efforts have not ceased. According to a recent post on Marshalls My Space blog, he recently completed a series of writing sessions with Anastasio. Marshall writes, Trey and I went up to a friend’s cabin in the Adirondacks and wrote a series of new songs. It was a great trip — we buckled down and worked our asses off to write and record these [10] songs. I’m very happy about the resultsIt gives an idea of the isolation we surround ourselves in to make it easier to think of nothing but writingAnd drinkingAnd girlsWait… Anyway, I can’t wait to hear the songs live…played presumably by (70 Volt Parade) and possibly a combination of Mike and the Duo I suppose. His next tour could be very interesting. Trey and I spoke about somehow releasing our two most recent writing sessions — just the raw sessions, recorded entirely by Trey and myself…just like ‘Trampled by Lambs and Pecked by the Dove’ which contained the first versions of many Phish songs.
