This album came about having met Nick Austin, (Beggars Banquet) through his then wife Claire Hammil. He played 'Fur Traders' in the Beggars office, and got the 'young grey whistle test' approval vote. . . This gave me the opportunity to run wild with deep south slide, vintage tremolo chords and my tribute to Duane Eddy . . . . David Lynch and Ry Cooder have been suggested as influences, though I recorded it in '82 . . . Enjoy with a glass (or bottle) - of JD or Wild Turkey . . . Keep a Spencer or Springfield handy . . .
