“I had always wanted to do an album of covers and when 2020 sort of derailed life it seemed like a good time to get creative in a new way. The tracks for this record reflect songs I have always loved regardless of how they ‘fit’ with what we do as a band.” – Jason McKinney
“By the time that I started playing guitar, the sound of Duane Allman’s slide was almost an obsession, His playing on ‘Layla’ is still one of the high-water marks for me.
