 -
Bruce Robison & The Back Porch Band is a 'real' nine-track album made up of good-time, light hearted romps ('Rock n' Roll Honky Tonk Ramblin' Man') and wistful, sometimes bittersweet ballads ('Long Time Coming', 'Still Doin' Time'). Even The Who's 'Squeezebox' - which Robison calls a 'a great country song by some English dudes' fits perfectly in the mix.
Long-time friend, Jack Ingram, appears with Robison on 'Paid My Dues', (written by Jason Eady and Micky Braun of Micky and the Motorcars) for a rowdy honky-tonker version akin to what last call at a Jerry Jeff Walker show might have been like in the late 70's. Robison marvels, 'The song that I cut with Jack, there's not even one overdub on it. That sounds like a simple thing, but I've never done that in my entire career, where we don't even go in and mix anything'.
