A note from Tom about this album:
"I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Tin Whiskers last fall when I was playing at a bar down the street from my house in Raleigh, NC. We rehearsed once and then played a couple of gigs together. The two of us decided there was enough clickage that we should record some originals. I knew that a guy who can play music like Kirk Charles Heydt (AKA Tin Whiskers) probably wouldn't come my way again anytime soon, so I was eager to record him playing on some of my originals before he moved back to his home turf in CA. This batch of songs is the result. Kirk did most of his stuff in one or two takes. No overdubs or digital comping. The result ain't nothing but the blues... pretty much."
