Greg Humphrey's - Trunk Songs

[bouche]

Greg Humphrey's Trunk Songs is available to stream at that link. Give it a listen, it's pretty sweet.

I noticed the phrase "Trunk Songs" reading an Irving Berlin Biography and it stuck with me. In the heyday of Tin Pan Alley songwriting and Broadway musicals, working songwriters would toss their unused songs into a trunk. They would pull one of these songs out when a musical was in need of one more number.

Here are a handful of my own trunk songs, along with some new songs and a few favorite covers. This is the kind of set you might find me playing on my old Hummingbird around a festival campfire or in a late-night hotel room. These recordings were made during the Spring of 2008 with friends, in three impromptu sessions that capture that offhand spirit.
