Stand Up!
We first released this Country style get-out-the-vote anthem shortly before the 2022 election here in the USA. And holy cow, it's even more relevant as we write these notes in July of 2024.

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!

Nature Will Have Her Way
Penny's gamba chorus backs the opening lyric of this mildly sarcastic take on humanity's likely-to-be-missed opportunity to save itself (from itself). And then, suddenly, a breezy groove fills the air while our messenger further describes the dire situation we find ourselves in. Along the way, sax, guitar, and chromatic harmonica features sweeten the gloom (does a spoonful of sugar really help the medicine go down?).

Smitten
In this jazzy ballad, our protagonist is clearly in love with his muse, who joins in with her alto sax to further validate his obsession. He responds with his guitar and harmonica before further elaborating on his affliction.

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.

A pedal steel instrumental with clarinet, harmonica, guitar, and double bass solos. This is Slim's homage to the steel guitarists he had the pleasure of working with back in the day and who profoundly influenced his playing. Here's to Whitney Eisenwinter, Mark Erlewine, Billy Marshall and John Ely!
