Album Notes

Minus Ted is lead by Skipp Sudduth from NBC's Hit Drama "Third Watch", and actor/musician Brian O'Neill but this is no vanity act (Brian and Skipp have been Taylor Guitar signed artists for the past seven years). The boys (and WOMEN) have been playing New York and New England for the past eight years honing their sound and crowd pleasing everywhere they go.

Because of their success LIVE this, their second album was recorded in front of a couple hundred people in a borrowed Off-Broadway theatre. The resulting vibe is amazing.

The rest of the band kicks it too. Terry Pender (mandolin/electric and acoustic leads has played literally all over this world and some of the things he does on the mandolin will have you believing he's visited the next one as well. Tom "Tom Tom" McGrath is a hand percussionist extraordinaire as happy with a hanf drum as he is on a kit or on his circa 1930 footpump harmonium (featured on "Tornado").

Famous accordion artist Rad Lorcavic took time out from world touring to play on the record and Paul Casson's harmonica and Jennifer Carnahan's fiddle finish the stylish mix brilliantly.

The songs are finally the thing though. These are straight from the hearts of O'Neill and Sudduth. And you don't get to the bottom of these songs after one or two listenings. You'll find yourself visiting their "emotion-scapes" again and again.

Most excellent driving music-get one for your car!!
