Backing Tracks Recorded at Opal Studios in Portland, OR - a venue that has worked on recent releases by Scorpions & Animotion. Finishing Parts recorded at Perigee Studios, Unltd. Mixdown by Kevin Wayne. Mastering by TJ Habibi. A voice that recalls Springsteen, Richard Thompson, Elvis Costello - Kevin Wayne sings of the streets from his own unique perspective. A perspective that grew from the days of being part of a Church that reached out to the Homeless, to when he became Homeless himself. This album was actually begun around 2001, then shelved for a time, during which Kevin wrote more songs and eventually released his "homemade" album No Use In Cryin' (also available on CD Baby.) The basic tracks.were recorded at Opal Studios in Portland, OR - a venue that has worked on recent releases by Scorpions & Animotion.

All songs were written by Kevin Wayne, except the Civil War era classic "Follow The Drinking Gourd," a traditional tune that was inspired by the Underground Railroad operation to free the slaves.
