  • Description

    In early 2003, Kris Delmhorst, Jeffrey Foucault and Peter Mulvey did a run of shows together in England. Thanks to excellent routing they found themselves with a few hours at a hotel every afternoon, and without fail they engaged in an off-the-cuff song circle. Over the tour they discovered musical affinity and a shared love of a fairly diverse spectrum of Americana.

    They cut this album in a living room, around one microphone, in three days the following summer. What emerged is a love letter to the body of American song. The members enlisted the talents of multi-instrumentalist David "Goody" Goodrich, and became multi-instrumentalists themselves.

    The bulk of the record speaks from the common tongue of music: traditional tunes, old jazz standards, country songs and things that blur the line between those forms. Kris and Peter also swapped covers, backed Jeffrey on one of his originals, and they all lent their instrumental skills to a Goodrich composition. There are also a handful of songs by contemporary writers who are well entangled in the great briar patch of this music.
