As the album started coming together, I started seeing it really as a retrospective of all the different styles that kind of influenced me, and my take on those things. IC: I notice much more of a rock influence on this one than in your other releases.
I grew up on Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix. I love the excitement of a spontaneous idea — as much as we can do that, we try to. We try to keep it as tight as possible at the same time. EK: I love the Lettuce tunes. The night before last we were performing with Chapter 2 and John Scofield, and then that night we were in the studio with Talib Kweli and a bunch of other people — so I feel blessed to work with different types of artists that are of that caliber.
I feel very fortunate. IC: Between all the bands, the production company, and the label, how do you keep it all together? How do you manage that?
Velour Music is our management team, and we have a great team of people. I know a lot of people that are only on the road or only making records, and for me, I crave both. Hopefully more times than not. EK: You know, I started kinda early on.
I was into samplers. I was always doing stuff with loop pedals even before then, where I would loop stuff and play with it. I met a bunch of singers and rappers at various times in Boston, and they started coming to me for music, and I fell into it that way. I started making tracks with people. I used to live in Jamaica Plains with a guy named Jeff Bhasker, and he and I had a studio there, and we used to develop songs and tracks together.
It used to be limited to a certain amount of sounds you could use, but the palette is so big now. The technology is advancing.

The most striking is the inclusion of a Bigsby style trem. Krasno talks guitars with fellow Ibanez signature artist, John Schofield. For Blood From a Stone, Krasno employed his signature guitars, whilst augmenting the palette with a Strat and Les Paul as the muse directed. He lauds its combination of playability, precision and vintage vibe. The top is mahogany — not a common choice for acoustics — which imparts a dark and round timbre. Krasno has used a slew of amps over the years, picking them to best suit the gig he is on.
The first Soulive album was tracked through a Roland Jazz Chorus. Mesa built Krasno a Lonestar with a custom maple shell. It is driven by a pair of or 6L6 power tubes. An Eminence Hemp HP12 driver makes its own sonic imprint in the final stages of tone shaping. This video was shot at the first Eric Krasno Band gig in Krasno has always been a fan of pedals, albeit using them sparingly, and admits that his board is always changing. For the recording of Blood From a Stone Krasno drew on a larger palette of tones and accordingly experimented with his signal chain.
A favourite use of the powerful multi-effector is employing its octave and filter effects. Krasno jams on an Eventide H9. MXR m Reverb : A craftily clever digital reverb lurking innocuously within a compact pedal.
