Keith Gattismade a quick impression on Low Gap.

To be honest, Keith wrote most of this song, and we watched him work.

About a month after we met Keith, we were given the devastating news of his passing.

Low Gap, Keith Gattis song Waves

The sibling duo Low Gap pay tribute to the late Keith Gattis on a new song, “Waves.“Ella Sommers*

We set out to find a team to help us release this song who knew Keith personally.

We wanted to capture the Keith Gattis sound that helped define an entire corner of country music.

The brothers asked Adam Odor to produce the song.

Waves was recorded at Odors Yellow Dog Studios in San Marcos, Texas.

Odor brought on Kevin Szymanski who also worked onNothing Left to Hidewith Odor and Gattis to oversee the mix.

Szymanski engineered Gattiss 2002 albumBig City Blues, which has proven to be the late songwriters primary recording legacy.

I wanted to keep it all in the Gattis family, Odor says of bringing Szymanski on board.

Gattis had his songs recorded by Kenny Chesney and George Strait.

He produced Randy Hausers albumMagnoliaas well as high-profile records by Wade Bowen and Micky and the Motorcars.

(Just shy of five months after Gattiss death, Robison died in September.)

I especially hope his wonderful family is proud of this song.
