Headed Down the Highway
This was one of my favorites to play with the Bo Weevil Band back in late
'97. Is there really many better feelin's than being out on the open
road, windows down, radio cranked, watchin' God's green earth roll by?

Baton Rouge Blues
When I started playing blues piano, there were several New Orleans folks that
really caught my ear. Dr. John, AJ Croce, and Harry Connick, Jr. were the first
to really influence me. I just love a good second-line.

Jude Thomas Rag
Some songs take years to finish. Others plop out of you and land on
your guitar completely finished. So was the case with this
instrumental. It came to me the day before my first son was born,
and has proven to be of likeness.I love you, Jude.

Boom Boom Boom
I wrote Boom
x3 in 1991 down in Destin Beach, FL. I was there with Courtney and
our friends Philip and Cindy, and was trying to figure out/learn the words to
Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues". It became clear that if I had any hope
of understanding and memorizing that many lyrics, I'd have to write them
myself.

Slim Pickin's
Slim, Slim, Slim.my buddy Slim Fatz. You can't describe seeing a Slim Fatz show,
you just have to experience it. He will be forever burned on my
brain. This song is dedicated to you.
Hear 'Slim Pickins' Sample
Tell Me
I've always loved 50's music, and Fats Domino is one of my favorites. I could
play that bass line for hours.

Goin' Home
My dad named this one, because he said it just felt like it feels when you're going
home. I think he hit it on the head.

Come From Here
I believe we're all connected to our heritage more than we understand at times.
Although my grandparents and my parents are, I'm not from Alabama. I am
connected to it, though. I have many fond memories of visiting Jesse and Ira in
Clanton as a child. These are just some snapshots from those memories.

Sad, Sad Song
Nobody does the 'just about to fall apart, but somehow incredible tight' sound
like Tom Waits. This ain't anywhere close, but it was inspired by
"Cold Water".
