The Whole Shebang is the fourth studio album and third record label for Murfreesboro, Tennessee band Fluid Ounces.

Contents

Largely performed by Timbs himself (while still living in Los Angeles) and engineered by Murfreesboro producer Brian Carter, The Whole Shebang received typically warm critical acclaim and some of Timbs' strongest material in years. Tracks like "Fool Around," Lazy Bones," "Hung On Every Word" and "Selma Lou" showcased guitars rather than Timbs' trademark piano, while songs "Big Deal Out of Nothing" and "Make It Through" featured a more familiar Ounces sound.

Ken Coomer (formerly of Wilco) played drums on "Paperweight Machine," and Kelli Scott (formerly of Failure) played on "Destined to be Forgotten."

Demo versions of songs had been picked up US radio guru Nic Harcourt and they were invited to record in the US with Ken Coomer of the band Wilco. Not having any other band members, they were joined in the recording studio in Music Row, Nashville, Tennessee by Jim Bogois on drums and Tim Marks on bass. In their live performances since then the duo have been joined by Tom Rees (drums), Jon Proud (bass) and Carl Prior (guitar/keyboards). While in the US they were invited to perform at the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
