NOTES
Drawing from the rockabilly sensibilities of yesteryear, this album was written and recorded mostly in two 6-hour sessions. It captures the live energy of the musicians, and highlights Dan Holmes' storytelling and catchy hooks. The themes of sci-fi movies, transportation, and love are presented with memorable choruses. Recorded at Soup Kitchen in San Marcos, TX, and mastered by Nick Landis at Terra Nova Digital Audio in Austin, TX. Artwork by Grego Anderson.

NOTES
Dan Holmes and Bill Ritter were inseparable musically for many years. After a discussion on what the next album would be, an instrumental Christmas album was decided upon. Recorded and produced in just a few sessions, it is a perennial favorite!
