This solo Jamie Walker album was recorded during 1996-1997 with Paul Kochanski, Jim Gambino, and Joe Donnelley and included Bombay Twang members Steve Sadler, Mike Reynolds and Larry Young as well as Ducky Belliveau, in Jamie's home studio (Fostex 1/4" 8 track tape machine and mixer). Needless to say this is no hifi experience, but you may be pleasantly surprised.

This was a time (not the first, not the last) of introspection and self-doubt following the loss of the Capricorn deal and a flurry of career stabs with the looming fear of the need to support a family of six and an industry that seemed to turn it's nose up at people like Townes, Uncle Tupelo, Butch Hancock, Tom Russel, Jimmy Dale, Joe Ely, Kim Richey, Steve Earle, etc, etc etc. It's definitely more intimate than your average Steaks record but there is a lot of Steak in it.
