“I sang the vocals and recorded with my nice band of pals, Ben Keith, Joe Osborn, Karl T. Himmel, and Rufus Thibodeaux at Loopy Mama’s in Nashville on Countryside. I hope you get pleasure from this treasure of an Analog Authentic recording, recorded by Tim Mulligan, as a lot as I do. Listening to it now, I feel I ought to have put it out again then.”
