about

I’d like to say a few things about this album-220-
It was a refreshing, creative time for me as a guitarist. I had, up to this point, done both vocal and instrumental projects. I was also a quarter of a century younger than I am now. There still was a great deal of youthful energy on this album!
I was surrounded by great musicians and the very talented Bill Deaton ~ Producer--also a guitarist himself!
In fact, Bill suggested, at first, that we call this album "When Les Pauls Ruled The Earth" haha! We ended up calling it 220 because there truly was some good voltage going on!
John Mays was also very keen on the music and gave us tremendous support!
I need to correct a title mistake on track 10. It was called “Watt Ever” on the CD release but it's really the end part of a jam called “Sherlock Ohms”, which is on Premium Jams Disc 2 as well as Jammed 2011.
Funny--I just noticed the title mistake today-haha!
OK- so tracks 11 through 20 are either demos or alternative ref mixes of the album's tunes. Montana (tr 3), for instance, contains my guitar tracks, bass and drums from my demo but Bill remixed it and added that cool hi-fi insert in the middle. I believe Spencer Campbell also added extra bass to the song. Tennessee morning (tr 4) has my original acoustic guitar parts and we built the song around those parts.
Arrow was originally a vocal song (see Back Room Trax Vol 3) that I thought would be fun as an instrumental. The original demo was recorded on a tour bus in 1984. Eleven years later we did this recording.
I think some of the bonus tracks (11,12,17 and 18) will be fun to jam to as they are missing the lead guitar lines.
Sure glad to have Spencer Campbell, Patrick Leonard and Lynn Williams as my band and special guests Pat Bergeson, Phil Madeira, Erik Darken, the late Hunter Lee, Chris Carmichael and young son Ian Keaggy to complete one of my favorite albums.
Thanks for listening
