Hey Friend, Thanks for your interest. I really think listening to the music is preferrable to talking about it, so I'll keep this short, and just answer a few questions that might come up as you listen: - I take on a lot of different voices on this album. So when I say "I" it is not always (or even usually) me, Amy, talking. - The fundamentalist preacher characterized in "Satan, I Rebuke Thee" is based on a real person. The other characters are fictional, or conglomerates of different people. - The soldier's story in "Home Uninjured" is true. - "Consequences" was written as the U.S. Senate was voting to give Bush permission to invade Iraq. I had been trying to call in but all the voicemail boxes were full. - This album was released in 2006. I really appreciate you listening. - Amy Musicians include: Mason Tuttle - guitar, mandolin, vocals Nate Baker - bass Roger Moquin - drums Lawrence Duncan - bassoon, sax, windy stuff Beth Youngblood - fiddle Jen Slayden - cello Gibson Hartwell - electric geetar Peter Park, Sarah Cobler, Saxon Holbrook, Joel Lankford, Thomas Hensley, Emi Kodama, Jen Slayden, Gibson Hartwell - vocals
