This was the first time I'd fired up my telecaster and amp for a recording and it felt like sitting in Sun Studios or something. Amazing sound after playing just acoustic instruments for a year. It's the first take and I loved it! This is now…

An old time fiddle tune without the fiddle, or the tune, really, so the vocal has to carry it, and it has that lovely raw propulsion. Written and recorded in an hour.

I'm not sure if this is rockabilly or late 40s jump R'n'B. Dance music though. I had fun with the lyrics and the backing vocals. This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09

A happy song about being left by your no-good spouse. There's a word for the attitude in this song but I can't think of it right now ... this is now a tidied up version 18/3/09

It's about getting lost in the big city, about knowing the way through, and about the Last Chance Saloon. This is now a tidied up version 18/3/09

Accompanied by Jim Bouchard on Slide Guitar, this is "the way my people does". The unsung heroes.

There's a whole mythology woven into this song, and hence into the album, and the weave is fine and warm.
