This release comes as a bit of a surprise. Why am I doing this after 34 years? Some of the material was released again on a CD called Old Jalopy back in 2007.

Of the songs not released on that CD, only one was not subsequently released at other times in other forms. The one song not re-recorded and released before 2007 – Takes Me Away from You -- was re-recorded in 2015 with full band and released on my CD Chiaroscuro.

I guess I need to go back to the very beginning. This album was originally released on cassette in 1988. In late 1987, I was performing a fair amount around Austin. I had a bunch of songs and really wanted to get decent recordings to use as demo tapes to try and get more gigs. I was also acting as the host of an Open Mic at a little club called Chicago House.
