JW plays the White Falcon on this, trying to be funky like a real guitar player on a Lucinda track might. Samuel Binnall adds bass, and Jeff Spirko's fiddle work nicely round things off.
There are many songs/verses about death amid this collection. Hey, I'm getting older...

Dark End of Life

JW plays acoustic guitar on this and, I think, bangs on something -- probably just slightly out of time. Samuel Binnall played the bass and added some nice acoustic licks and more to polish it off. I thought The Bitter Enders would be a good name for a band. When I was too lazy to put a band together I just used the name as a title song.

The Bitter Ender

JW plays acoustic guitar on this one, as he tries his very best to rip off JT. Samuel Binnall plays the guitar solo, adds some whispery background vocals, and tossed in some keyboard work for good measure.

Stowaway

JW plays everything on this one (not there's much). The background vocals were arranged and performed by Sarah and Rachel Hambridge aka SaRachel. They STEAL THE SHOW on this little ditty. No one with ears will argue with that.

Hillbilly Love

JW plays everything on this one. It was recorded after his controversial decision to "go electric." For Bob.

He Rides

JW plays everything, except the great fiddle part by Jeff Spirko.
The fabulous background vocals are by Sarah and Rachel Hambridge aka SaRachel (check them out on youtube).
These guest musicians make this song!

Save the Date

JW plays acoustic guitar, and Samuel Binnall pretty much handles the rest with the keyboard. Song is a bit on the cynical side. Last verse if about a certain ex-president. It'll make more sense if/when he goes to jail.

How's That Working Out for You?

Samuel Binnall plays nearly everything on this one. JW warbles. Oh, and plays the solo, for some reason (Sam must have been busy.) For my wife, Karen.

Your Beauty Shines Through

A darker offerring.

Samuel Binnall plays multiple instruments. He appears on tracks 4, 7, 10 and 11. On the final song John and Sam alternate solos, with John leading off.

No Man's Land

Ida Mae

Look At Me (The Legal Weed Song)

Methamphetamine Queen

Wicked World

Trying to connect with younger listeners. I figured I'd do a song about a hot tech thing all the youngsters were grooving to.
Face Time, I was told afterward, is not one of these hip techie things.

Grandmothers are partial to it.
