Search - Chowder :: In the Memory of Cain

"In the Memory of Cain," is a compilation of original material written by Mark Weigel and performed by Mark's college band, The Chowder, and Mark's wife Dyllan. This album follows Mark's previous release, "Green Acres" an all-original solo album of Mark playing the acoustic guitar and singing with Dyllan. The Chowder includes Teige Carroll on bass and vocals, Matt Kane on drums, Noah Kornblum on piano and organ, and Jeff Webb on guitar, dobro and vocals. The Band now lives throughout the US: New York, Colorado, California, and Illinois. In preparation for the recording session, Mark put together a demo tape for the band. On a weekend in June of 2001, each member flew into New York. The band rehearsed at Mark's on Saturday, and laid down 10 tracks the next day in the studio. The album was recorded in White Plains at Acme Recording Studio in a single nine-hour session. Rory Young of Acme Recording Studios was the engineer on the album. Some of the tunes on the album are; "My Love (Three Decades, or So)" written by Mark for his wife Dyllan's 30th birthday; "In the Memory of Cain" a song about choice; "A Little Love at Home" a song written in the style of "You're Just in Love" written by Irving Berlin for the musical, Call me Madam; and three wedding songs written for friends and family. The genre of the album is folk rock in the style of James Taylor and Paul Simon.
