  • Bio

    Well, I've been playing guitar for about 30 years. Picked up the dobro at age 29 when Gravity Creeps crept no more. Figured out when I was 20 that I could write songs, not just learn other folks.' My bands have been (not guest-spots).. The Cutter Travis Band.. Penguin Lust..Wolfgang..Gravity Creeps..The Sunspots..Redneck GReece De-lux..Marlee Macleod and the Lonesome Choir..HorseFeathers..The Hot Burritos.. Barbara Cue..The Workhorses of the Entertainment/Recreational Industry..Many of the above played concurrently, and the longest running projects are the current Barbara Cue and WE/RI, though I played in De-Lux for about five years. .... Barbara Cue became a really fun ride, without us really planning it. Best laid plans, and all.... ..Profile edited with ....CricketSoda's Myspace Editor....

Really, I guess just me. Strumming along on the album, now finnished, are Jon Mills (bass), Crumpy Edwards (bass), John Neff (pedal steel), Eric Carter (electric guitar), and Todd Nance (percussion and vocals). Ben Holst is engineering, mostly, over at Chase Park, but some early tracks were engineered by Jorma Starratt out in the woodsy confines of Starratt Studios. It's got pictures on the front and back.

Influences:

Beatles, Stones, Who, NRBQ, Grateful Dead, REM, Bruce Springsteen, Gram Parsons, David Lindley, Roy Buchanan, Jerry Douglas, Thelonious Monk, Alice Cooper.
