Contact High
Starting off the album we have a lively chromatic harmonica feature with an infectious bass groove. Pedal Steel and Alto Sax soon join the fun as the tune grooves on. But please be careful if you're driving -- dig it too much and you might catch a strong contact high!

Above & Below
This Brazilian Jazz flavored instrumental can be thought of a vacillating between groovin' on the climate above ground vs. the climate below in the world's oceans... or not. That's the thing about instrumentals, they are rather abstract -- always fun trying to name them! This one has lots of harmonica, alto sax, pedal steel, and guitar.

Smoke On The Land
Penny wrote and arranged this tune and it was featured on her 1988 album "Often Running". This is a new instrumental version based on her original arrangement. The lyrics (not heard here) are a biting commentary on Reagan's Iran Contra war (e.g. "For every child in the barrio, a pound of pain in lethal aid, from our unholy crusade."). Here, we focus on the musical brilliance and beauty behind "Smoke on the Land".

Procrastination
Slim was sitting around one day and picked up his guitar to avoid doing some necessary but unpalatable chore and this tune just popped out of nowhere.
