Coppage Releases 3-Track, Lay Me Down - “Not a studio record — a document.”

Lay Me Down is a live field-recorded EP captured outdoors in the Mississippi Delta during an ice storm. Performed under a single microphone with no overdubs, the project preserves a raw winter-night performance rooted in Southern storytelling and unfiltered atmosphere.

Recorded live outdoors in the Mississippi Delta at approximately 1:00 a.m. during a rare January ice storm, Lay Me Down is a field recording in the truest sense.

Captured under a carport by a single microphone — no overdubs, no second takes — the EP documents three songs performed in one continuous winter night. Illuminated by streetlight and moonlight, the recording preserves wind, air, and silence as part of the performance itself.

The songs confront war memory, moral reckoning, love, death, and survival. “Tell Me Momma” unfolds as a stark confession. “In the Willows” blends romance and fatalism into Southern folklore. “Keep On Running” wrestles with debt, temptation, and inevitability.

Rooted in Delta tradition but framed with indie minimalism, Lay Me Down collapses weather, place, and performance into a single unfiltered document.

This is not a studio production.It is a moment captured.
