Album Notes

Backward Collective is a recording group formed by longtime collaborators Jason Presley and Adam Headrick, featuring their ongoing work with a collection of friends, bandmates and fellow musicians (in this case including Brad Hardy, John McCann, Dave Wu, Van Eby, Doug Strick, and Adam Chimera of Chimera Sound-who also mixed the record).

\"Bedlam and Then Some” is a twenty track concept album loosely based on both imaginary and authentic interpretations of the storied bedlam rivalry; a rivalry between the two state universities in Oklahoma.

The physical copies of this CD for sale on this site are handmade original photo-lithographic prints designed and hand printed by graphic designer Adam Headrick (adamheadrick.com). Only 45 of these original works of art exist--and this is the only place to purchase them.

we hope you enjoy “bedlam and then some” and we encourage you to contact us if you would like to collaborate, or commission music for your creative project.
