New digital only “Golden Wastes” EP. Four tracks of brown that we weren’t able to fit on the 12 GCG deluxe set. Saddle up, mang. It’s gonna get weird. Check out the full visualizer or stream at the link below.
According to Deaner, the album title was chosen to evoke a "rainy, colder than Paris, Parisian place. The vibe of our record is like romantic and rainy without being as classy as Paris."
Did you know that "Fool to Cry" was the band's original submission for inclusion on the Beautiful Girls soundtrack, but was replaced by "I'll Miss You”? The movie used “I’ll Miss You” due Rolling Stones’ legal team refusing to grant usage rights. Previously reported as an outtake from The Mollusk outtake, in actuality, “Fool To Cry” was included in the swath of material for consideration for the next Ween album post Chocolate and Cheese.
This photo is of session musician Buddy Harman, who played the drums for “You Were The Fool”. Buddy is one of the most recorded drummers in country music, and, upon hearing the demo of “You Were The Fool”, asked “You don’t mind if I use my hands do you?” And did just that. Ben Vaughn, producer of 12 Golden Country Greats, referred to this song as "hippie-country". "You Were the Fool" was released as a double A-side single with "Piss Up a Rope". The CD version also includes the B-side "So Long Jerry".
"Sweet Texas Fire" was first demoed on 4-track around spring 1992. The 4-track demo was included on the “Freedom” and “Ween In 1992” work master tapes. It was then recorded during the first studio demo session for Chocolate and Cheese on June 5, 1992, and produced by Greg Frey. The studio version was included on the "Piss Up a Rope" vinyl single in November 1996. Now coming to the 12GCG Deluxe release!
"Powder Blue" predates the country sessions and was played live several times with DAT deck accompaniment in 1993. The studio version of the song showcases the instrumental playing of the legendary Nashville studio musicians who feature heavily on the 12 Golden Country Greats album, specifically showcasing Bobby Ogdin (piano), Charlie McCoy (harmonica), and Russ Hicks (steel guitar), who are each introduced by name in the song, and some are featured in the second photo. Muhammed Ali is also mentioned, but that's a story for another time… Ben Vaughn and Charlie McCoy (pictured) recently reunited backstage at the Grand Ole Opry!
Pictured here are Deaner & session musician Pete Wade (RIP), who played the lead six-string bass for the solo on “Piss Up a Rope”. Producer Ben Vaughn says that the bass was run through a "Moogerfooger, I think it was one of those electro-harmonix pedals, it's like a micro-synth or a moog simulator you run your guitar through” because the bass solo originally sounded “too polite [...] Ween use it on almost everything."

Happy early birthday to “The Pod”!
Strap on that Jammy Pac. New Ween gear has emerged from the depths, inspired by the record. Very brown. Possibly the brownest….
