专辑简介

We were a band once. NYC in the Nineties was our time and place. Small clubs, a modest following, and a big sound. We made two albums, THE GOOD RED ROAD and DESERT MOTEL before marriages and distance put us in each others rear-view mirrors. Children came for some, as did careers, maturity, and a bit of money, each a branching road that took us even farther apart. Then the real adult stuff started happening. Marriages flamed out, parents passed on. Pick your stress. But there was one thing we shared that survived: the music we had made as a band.

Twenty years after making our first album we decided it was time to make a third. Not as easy as it sounds. Were we still a band? Thankfully we’d kept playing our instruments. But because we were split between coasts and couldn’t rehearse, the plan was to record old songs that never made it on an album. Surprisingly, that music had changed it's meaning. The present seemed to haunt the innocence of the old tunes, just as the past seemed to haunt every new one we’d write in response. The result is a collection of old and new songs that have been gently visited by the ghost of it all.
