This is Volume Four of a collection of unreleased tracks, tracks from albums I have been on with various bands/groups that feature my singing/playing, and stuff from my archives. I'm trying to put everything I can up here on BandCamp so there's a place folks who are interested can find all my available recorded works.

Tracks 1 and 2 are outtakes from an album I did with Woody Mann and John Cephas. The album is a combination of trios and duos from the three of us. These two cuts are me and Woody playing together. If you'd like to check out the whole recording, you'll find it here...

Tracks 3, 4, and 5 are all connected with my friend and giant of the dobro guitar, the late Tut Taylor. He called me up when he was 91 years old and said he was going to record his last album and asked if I would help him. I said yes, of course, and asked what he'd like me to do. He wanted to cut an entire album of Mormon hymns (I didn't know he was Mormon) and was asking some friends to contribute songs to go with the ones he would cut. I told him I'd love to do it, but I didn't know any Mormon hymns so he would need to pick some out for me. Tracks 3 and 4 are the songs he chose for me to do. I thank my friends Matt Weiner and Mary Maass for helping me finish them. Track 5 is a song Tut wrote many years ago for the mandolin and I made a dobro version of it to amuse him. Thankfully, he liked it. My dobropal Billy Cardine played a second dobro on this and I played everything else.

Track 6 is from a session I did in the late 1990s that included Will Dowd on drums, Rob Moitoza on bass, and Don Pawlak on pedal steel guitar.

Tracks 7 and 8 are songs I love that I cut in my home studio, The SunRoom. I'm playing and singing everything on them. Southern Music is by the great Russell Smith (Amazing Rhythm Aces) and I learned Willie Jean from my friend Jim Page. I think Hoyt Axton wrote it.

Tracks 9, 10, 11, and 12 are from a live radio series entitled Sonarchy, hosted and engineered by Doug Haire, for KEXP-FM in Seattle WA. I'm accompanied by music buddies John Miller, Paul Elliot, and Keith Lowe on guitar, violin, and bass, respectively. We did one other song, one called Bitter Truth, that was written by me and Mark Graham. We added a harmonica part by Mark after the fact and made it the title song of our third Kings of Mongrel Folk album. You can find that here...

Track 13 is a song by my late friend John Pavlik.
