Great show the other night at the blind mule. Original music in mobile is an oddity but it's slowly coming back around. Our new album should be complete soon and it would be fun to play with you guys. If you decide to come back in the near future please let me know & we'll see what we can do.

Thanks,
Hunter

who is this paul you speak of? i don't know what you're talking about...

thanks for the comment on the lyrics. it's definitely appreciated, but it doesn't top the dozens of times I've been cruising along in these parts singing "window down...alabama winter outside, go to the chicken joint...". I've confused more than few passers-by singing that one, but then i just sing it louder. Awesome song. And i totally dig the new recording.

You know, it's really odd because I saw Doc's set at Egan's the other night and I commented to others that his style of writing is in tune with yours. I think that's a great match and should be a good show.
Y'all have fun!

"Laying Track!"

Holy Shit, I haven't heard anyone tell a story like that in a while. Great Lyrics, It's like it was written by a man who lived that story, not something that was conjured up from other records.

Keep on Rockin

I'm looking to put new flooring in my house. I'm going to do it with gold records, though.

Thanks again for playing last night. We had a lot of fun.
