here's the rundown on our new album

first of all, it's done

there are 9 tracks, and it's all new

It is entitled "What It Is"

These are the tracks-

1. Step Back

a lay-back, funk thing that is a nod to Allen Toussaint

2. Thursday

almost 'Steely Dan-ish' but, uh, positive

3. What Goes On

the early morning re-telling of one crazy night that encapsulates just "what" it's all about & a trumpet solo...& dobro

4. Red

a newer song with a splash of reggae, some jazzy chords, and an emphasis on Redness

5.On The Road To Memphis

written while returning from a weekend at bonnaroo, it is a tribute to the way Ray Charles took his own thing & married it to country with so much soul

6. Naturally

snappy one about puddles of rain & sushi bars, which we know plenty

7. Ooh Look A'Here

you take a ZZ-Top-type shuffle, add some noir trompete, and graft a story about Yuma, Arizona, the Border Patrol, and voila

8. It's A Done Deal

a rocker loosely related to the time our drummer shoved this dude who'd become friendly with his ex, "you took a little more than you intended to take"

9. You Don't Need No Love Songs

a chance to stretch out, check the drum'n bass, some jazzy guitar, and a flute solo, followed by flugel into the ether

In the very near future, we'll be throwing a CD-release party. Check here for all the latest info. We love to play and that's "What It Is."
