Album Notes

Imagine a bright eyed and bushy tailed, yowling, George Jones stumbling into a world weary Leonard Coen on a gritty lower Manhatten back alley.

Mix the two with a little Steve Earl and you'll begin to conjure up a picture of the powerfull cocktail brewing between the deep groves of this digital odessey.

Backing up Hunts rythmn guitar is one of Manhattans finest all around multi-instrumentalists and producers Matt Smith.

He builds a lush, moody acoustic settings that range's from high lonesome bluegrass to dark Kurt Weill inspired mandolin laden ballads.

With the help of exposure through NPR's "Car Talk" which used the songs "Gear Head" and "Old Chevy" on three different programs and counting, the word of mouth on this little disc is spreading like a slow,hot fire across the country.

Hunt has packed this cd with enough tear jerkers for momma to flood the creek, enough humor to crack a smile on the face of youre smarmy kid sister, and enough automotive detail to make daddy raise his head out of Popular Mechanics.

Though based in Brooklyn, Hunt grew up in Iowa and the songs recall an imprint of a purely American experience.
