Details:
THIS ALBUM WAS RECORDED LIVE IN THE STUDIO. IT IS PRETTY SPARTAN BUT I LOVE THE FEEL AND THE SOUND. UNFORTUNATELY THE BAND SPLIT UP AFTER THIS FIRST RECORDING AND WENT THEIR SEPARATE WAYS LEAVING LIGHTNIN'' WILLIE ON HIS OWN TO CONTINUE THE BAND WHICH HE DID AND HAS CONTINUED TO DO SO. THERE WAS SPONTANIETY ON THIS ALBUM THAT CANNOT BE DENIED AND THE PRODUCER PAUL MARSHALL WAS WISE TO RECORD THEM IN A LARGE ROOM WITH OVER HEAD MICS ALONG WITH AMP MICS. HE LIKED THE WAY WE SOUNDED LIVE AND DIDN''T WANT TO MESS IT UP IN ANYWAY. WE AREN''T THE MOST PERFECT MUSICIANS IN THE WORLD BUT THIS WAS A GREAT TIME ONLY BECAUSE OUR DREAM WAS BECOMING REALITY AND IT WAS AFFECTING MORE PEOPLE THAN WE HAD EVER IMAGINED. THIS ALBUM WAS VOTED IN THE TOP TEN NEW ROOTS ACTS OF 1994 BY MARY COSTELLO AT GLR/BBC RADIO IN LONDON. LIKE I SAID IT WAS A GREAT TIME AND OUR DREAMS WERE COMING TRUE OR MAYBE JUST MY DREAM (LIGHTNIN'' WILLIE). TO THIS DAY PEOPLE TELL ME HAVE MUCH THEY LOVED THE BAND AND THE CD AND HOLD IT AS A VERY SPECIAL PART OF THEIR LIVES. GUITARISTS, BASSISTS, HARMONICA PLAYERS ALL HAVE TOLD ME THE REASON THEY STARTED PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT WAS BECAUSE OF THE FUN THEY HAD JUST WATCHING THIS BAND PLAY IN THE STREETS OF ''OLD TOWN PASADENA'' IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA...I CAN STILL SEE ALL THOSE PRETTY GIRLS WALKING BY ON A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY NIGHT! LIGHTNIN'' WILLIE
