Mike Morgan discusses the new record:
I'm very excited about my 1st release in 15 years. I was able to write a couple of songs that are a little off the beaten path compared to some of my previous releases. I was able to bring in some of my favorite musicians to help add a little extra spice to this gumbo of tunes. The Crawl rhythm section of Kevin Schermerhorn on Drums and Drew Allain on Bass is a force to be reckoned with.
