My "Studio" Album

A few years ago I went down to Madison to a friend's recording studio to see if I could muddle through a few songs and make a CD. Bob Hoot (a very talented guy) was not only the engineer, but also added background vocals, base, and even percussion. The subsequent packaging was far superior to the music, nevertheless here's the cover art. The title "No One Left Alive" was his idea, since the songs on the disc fell somewhere between maudlin and downright depressing (hey, it's folk music)!

Included on the album are Eric Andersen's Close the Door Lightly, Billy Edd Wheeler's Coal Tattoo, Tom Paxton's Hold On To Me Babe, and Townes Van Zandt's Tecumseh Valley.


Well I can now announce that in less than three years the entire run of nearly half a dozen CDs has completely sold out!  There is a sequel in the works with 2 songs already "in the can".  Thats two recordings completed in less that eleven months.  Who dah thunk it?
