Mostly original material with funny time signatures along with some #Flecktone covers. We also did this middle eastern take on #WhiskeyForBreakfast.

She wanted to be backed by traditional southern musicians. We rounded up two virtuosos— #HankSmith on banjo and Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw on fiddle. I added dobro, along with E Scott Warren on bass and Ed Butler on drums.
Sadly, the documentary ran out of funds and we got stuck eating the recording costs. But we did get a nice track out of it.
