Album Notes

One day when I was about to go on tour with my band who had rehearsed and packed and were all ready to go, I got a call from A&M Records, (my then-label).

They said the record wasn't doing well enough and the tour was being canceled.

I must admit, at first I was rather ticked off and I thought about kicking some big bootay, but then I called up my agent and said that I would tour alone, acoustic or whatever it would take. ( Note: before that time I'd never stood on a stage alone, without a band.)

One week, and some unnecessary details later, I had been offered opening up over 60 gigs - nation wide for Tori Amos.

This CD is the that show.

With songs from Inarticulate Nature Boy, and some others to tame the hungry mobs, there are no fixes or overdubs, just me, my electric and sometimes acoustic guitar, and a lot of strangers getting to know each other.

In some ways this is my favorite CD to date in that it is totally real and un-produced.

It captures the energy of a time that became very defining for me as a singer, performer and writer.

Enjoy the show, and please join in.
