(Reissue)
The latest album is the perfect mix of original songs written by the band's lead singer Kevin Geil and cover songs that have long been our fan's favorites. While not considered a departure from the traditional Two Ton's sound, the music does reflect the maturity and versatility of the band. Grammy Award winning producer Lloyd Maines, a driving force behind the success of the Dixie Chicks and one heck of a guitar player, brought a lifetime of musical experiences and several "musician friends" into the studio to expand the boundaries of Two Tons. We'd like to extend a special "thanks" to Ron Knuth (fiddle), Riley Osbourn (keyboards), Keith Kimball (banjo), Hank Harrison (mandolin/fiddle), Amy Frances (harmony vocals), Freddy Mendoza & Stan Smith (horns), Adam Odor (studio engineer) and Fred Remmert (final cd master) for all your contributions and just being plain good at what you do. And to Lloyd Maines, you challenged Two Tons to take our music to the next level. We are sure that our fans will agree with the results. Release date: June 27, 2005.
