“Building A Fence” opens the album (Concord Sessions).  This is a seemingly light and upbeat blues tune about “building a fence from Mexico to Hong Kong”, and with a note of warning in the chorus – “rider soon at your gate, and your city will burn”.  The themes of walls, privilege, separation, and impending crisis are introduced.  These ideas are touched on throughout, sometimes just below the surface like an underground river.  
On the downbeat of “Building A Fence” you hear George Koller on upright bass on the left channel, Tony Quarrington on acoustic guitar on the right channel, and Bob Scott on drums in the middle and spread to both sides.  After the band does an instrumental verse, my vocal and guitar enters in the centre.  This instrumental placement remains constant and provides a very wide and open soundstage.
