The 90s saw me take a detour into more of a rock & soul sound.  Using Motown instrumentation and beats and also some fooling around with sound stuff and a dive back into a few Statik Action style songs.

All songs written and arranged by R Michael Torrey except 'Luvme2X' by The Doors and Love & Happiness by Al Green and Mabon Hodges

*Mercy and Reason With A Monkey both feature Mark Varian on lead guitar

Origional Release on Cassette - 1990
CD Release - 2000
Digitally Remastered from Original 4-Track - 2025

Backup Instrumentation sequenced with MasterTracks 3.5 for Macintosh
With the E-mu Proteus/1 Sound module
Recorded on the Yamaha MT44 4-track Cassette Recorder
Acoustic Guitars: Ibanez Model 0 Number 2846

This album is dedicated to Cyndee, who inspired all the love songs.
