Woodstock And The Music
Yes folks, Hot Tuna is recording it’s first studio project in 20 years. We’re working at the Levon Helm Studio in good old Woodstock and our buddy Larry Campbell is producing the project. We’re in the same room where Levon and the boys do the Midnight Ramble and where Barry Mitterhoff and I recorded my last CD, River Of Time
Here Larry and Jack are having what looks like a serious talk about what is undoubtedly a very complicated arrangement! You mean I have to remember new stuff? Hmmmm…..

Mr. Barry Mitterhoff, undaunted by the task at hand, catches up on some email between licks. Can it get any better than this?
More will be revealed.










I can hardly wait for your new music. Thank you for many years of inspiration and enjoyment.
Hmmmmm…..Ya know, musically speaking, I think it actually could NOT get much better than what you describe!!! WOW!!!
Have fun……Can’t wait to hear it Jorma
Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
Can’t wait…new Tuna album has sure been a long time coming! Perhaps we’ll hear a new tune or two at the Beacon next month?
Oh my goodness, so exciting! You are practically in our backyard! Want to come to dinner in White Plains??
So good to read and see the process of creation.
Looking forward to it’s release.
I can hardly srictly wait either! I’m wondering if “If this is love I want my money back” will be on the new cd? Love that song!
I would hop on a plane today if I could get a ticket to see you guys play at a Ramble!
I really like River Of Time,listen to it often. I’ve been lucky enough to see you play with Barry or HT 6 or 7 times in the last year and a half. I’ll be at the Beacon both nights and hope to hear some new material before the release of the new cd in 2011. Any plans for an acoustic set with you and Barry?
New Hot Tuna album- great news! Acoustic, electric or mixed? Looking forward to it.
Can’t wait! The live show from July at the Rams Head w/ G.E. and Steve Earle is one I keep going back to. Can’t wait to hear some of that Tuna energy and magic translated to new studio stuff. Best wishes for a great Thanksgiving!
Hey Jorma,
That’s great news. Play a couple of the new tracks at the Beacon for your 70th birthday bash in a couple weeks, please.
Have a wonder thanksgiving too
Regards from your pal “Gramps”
Oh my, Levon’s place is outstanding. Most enjoyable place to be with people and listening to music (like Fur Peace).
Happy Thanksgiving to all here ! Hot Tuna with a new album !!!! Can’t wait . I am always thankful for Jorma’s Thoughts . At 61 , I’m less religous but more spiritual than ever . Jorma’s Thoughts seems to be spiritual food for this “child of the 60’s” . Thank you .
