This live collection was recorded at the Hard Rock Cafe in Detroit, Michigan on November 8, 2012. It's our very best work to date, with sizzling leads from Jake Burdock, blistering bass from Kenny Szymanski, and relentless grooves from Leland McCann (with Tom and Bob doing what they always do best). Add to that some soaring lap steel from Nick Klaver and jaw-dropping piano from Ian Tadaschi-Moore and you have one exciting, well-paced concert experience (you'll just have to add your own applause because we cut all that stuff out).
You'll hear the old school blues we're known for, some fresh heartland Americana, and some incredibly funky rock that will make you want to move SOME part of your body (head, hips, feet - take your pick). And the lyrics are our strongest offering yet, dealing with the vicissitudes of life (yes, I said "vicissitudes" - it means the "ups and downs", i.e., the "seasons") and the lessons learned in the aftermath.
The song order carefully flows one to another as do the themes (but we'll let you figure that out by listening). The interplay of the instruments sounds great in headphones. This is one well-constructed album that just so happens to be recorded in a live setting (where we really shine).
Shrink-wrapped CD with full color, four-panel insert and beautiful graphics.

about
Does your refrigerator have pictures of loved ones on it? Or do you have some common wall with snapshots of brothers, sisters, cousins? How much do those people truly know you? Sure, they have a perception from family gatherings and other events, but do you ever really speak everything that's on your mind in their presence? If you're like most, probably not. But sometimes the wisest thing to do is hold your peace - what they don't know can't hurt you. ;)
lyrics
I got people that I love flat against the wall
they know some of my story, but they don't know all
I see `em smile in a perfect pose
But I know they fight - I've been to some of those,but -
there's no love lost,
no love lost,
no love lost -
what they don't know can't hurt me.
I could speak my mind and burst their bubble
and get myself into a world of trouble
but that don't sound like fun to me
I'd rather just let `em be, so –
there's no love lost,
no love lost,
no love lost -
what they don't know can't hurt me.
maybe I have skeletons and a darker side
it could be true that I got something to hide
I don’t consider it any kind of sin -
It's kind to lock those tales within, so –
there's no love lost,
no love lost,
no love lost -
what they don't know can't hurt me.

Lucky Jr is the love child of Terry Birkett. The spirit of Billy Bragg in the form of a tight, rockin' Americana band, this is the kind of music that bears repeated listening and sticks with you. Delta Twins
Pleased to call John Natiw a friend and a solid songwriter. He's on the map with Pleasureville - rich, textured Americana, soulful writing, and sweet harmonies. Delta Twins
Brutal honesty, extreme highs and lows, and seasoned with a bit of every style of music Bob grew up with, this collection will connect with your heart and mind, and just might help heal your soul. Delta Twins
