So you may enjoy this album to its fullest, you should know:
The Rosewood Thieves were snowed in when these songs were recorded.
They were up in the Pocono Mountains filming and were unable to drive back to New York due to treacherous conditions. They stayed at Erick's parents' house while they waited out the storm. That first night, after a warm dinner, they drank coffee and tea in the basement recording studio where Erick picked up his guitar and played the band a song he had just written, "Honey, Stay Awhile". Paul suggested that while they were there, they might as well spend the night recording the new song. This snowballed into a three-day session, wherein most of the songs were recorded late at night, the studio only lit by many small candles. "Being stuck up there, in the country, it only seemed natural to choose the songs we chose, and it only seemed appropriate to title the album 'Lonesome,'" says Erick.
