Contents

The album is a mix of originals and covers of songs by Tom Waits, Peggy Lee, Gram Parsons, Willie Nelson and Patsy Cline, described by The Australian as 'a charming smoky blues romp driven by Head's bar-room piano' [1] and 'an endearing mix of country soul and late night jazz...high on smoky atmosphere' by The Music. Jazzy duet 'Late Bloomer' was co-written by Head and Justine Clarke. Original duet 'Old Hands' explores the life of a musician, 'digging graves and waiting tables to make ends meet' and features a humorous music video by photographer Andrew Cowen [2] featuring actors Terry Serio and Gary Waddell. [3]

They toured with Kinky Friedman and the Handsome Family in Australia in support of the album. [4]
