Album Notes

From the Album Liner Notes:
September 25, 2006
Hidy Y'all
This album was recorded on the run. We started out working at my place, then moved to Joe's nice, big, empty living room for drums and bass, and ended up at Jim's. Jim has a little studio over his garage which is great for sound, but there's no bathroom, and we had to turn the air conditioner off everytime we turned the mics on. So while this may not be truly live, we were going as fast as we could and sweating like hell, just like our live show.

This album was recorded over four hectic weeks in September, 2006.

Reviews:
Primetime slab of Texan barroom country delivered with a great hunk of flatbread and as much Lone Star as you can guzzle..
Good ole boys straight outta Austin , The Billy Eli Band play gritty Texan bar-room country that will have you out of your chair, stomping round the living room shouting “Take me to San Antone” with a mouthfull of scorching jalapenos. Full Review -- Americana UK

Heavily influenced by Tom Petty (especially where singing is concerned), Billy Eli plays catchy-as-hell Country Rock. -- Eric Shea
