Frustrated and bored with modern spiritual music, I thought it was time to sit down and write music that could speak to everyday struggles in an honest way.  Though I did not lift text from any spiritual books I did find myself using some basic language to describe common experiences. This music was not written to lean towards  any one religious belief but rather to portray general suffering and everyday wonder in an eloquent way. Fear, doubt, lust, anger and peace are all represented. 

Making this album was mostly a lot of fun with a few minor set-backs. We burned through a couple of players trying to find the right ones for this c.d. and finally landed on these talented Austinites thanks to Mike's thorough knowledge of Austin's talent: Nina Singh on drums. Robby Gjersoe on electric and lap steel. My old friend and longtime music collaborator Cole El-Saleh on keyboards and finally Michael Hynes who played bass and also recorded and mixed the album. 

I contacted several of my favorite Graphic novelists and Mack White agreed to do the cover. Go to the links page to check out his work. Neil Ferguson helped me organize the art and put it into a cohesive design for the album.

Much thanks to everyone who played a part, large or small in the making of this album. I hope you enjoy.
