A musical compendium of old written stuff, and a few borrowed windings, coming through much later. Like a slow scroll singin' at his buddies over the years. Now, most of the friend-letter sendings are road-worn and sung quite long, rustic folk leanings gone bent into rock and roll and quirky heartfelt songwriter ditties that linger as hopefully original. Recorded over undulating length mostly in whitefish, montana and slightly in a few other spots. Somewhat inspired by those who blew wind at the ongoing ride...

All songs written, produced and performed by Jay Alm, except “We’re Going To Be Friends,” written by Jack White and “Right Here,” written by Keller Williams. Toby Ferguson plays drums on "Oh The Places" and “Ride The Rolling Wind.” Recorded, engineered, and mastered by Toby Scott at Cabin 6 Recording in Whitefish, MT. A few thangz recorded in the Carolina late night and probably a bathroom in Missoula. All Rights Reserved.
