about

The idea behind this album was pretty simple: Get together with a few of my favorite musicians, pick a bunch of my favorite songs, and turn the former loose on the latter. Robbie Phillips and I played together for years and his gutbucket swing was so integral to my music that I still feel half naked without him kicking me along. Matt Leavenworth was a regular guest during the summer that the original Street Corner Cowboys (me, Robbie, Peter Keane, and Mark Earley) had a weekly gig at the Plough and Stars in Cambridge, and I never stop being impressed with his chops and taste. As for Paul Geremia, he is one of my all-time favorite acoustic blues artists, and a good friend.
