“7 cent cigar blues,” is an old piece of whimsy that Jack, Sue and I used to perform when we went around Nashville as The Crows. I hope you agree that the addition of the horn section (brought to life with an arrangement by Jim Hoke) brings a really carnival feel to the song.
“Memories of you,” comes out of my East Tennessee days, as does “Road I’m on” and “Sweet waters.” Looking around for something with a little bit of western swing, I dusted off “Who’s that girl” and added a verse.
