Demolition’s members are across-the-board connoisseurs: master instrumentalists, lyricists and entertainers, while Skye is a vocal treasure.”
—Chuck Taylor/Billboard Magazine
The DSB arrives at a new level of maturity in this 2007 release which is filled with songs about love and produced in their signature twang-rock, bluegrass informed sound. Recording began in Mebane, NC in an old muscle car shop turned into a recording studio by owner Rick Miller (Southern Culture on the Skids) and finished in Brooklyn, NY at Eric Ambel’s “Cowboy Technical Services.” There are plenty of new songs by Elena Skye, a hoppin’ new instrumental by the Grammy winning Boo Reiners, and lots of tasty Telecaster slingin’, sweet country harmonies, mandolin, dobro and banjo, all over the road tested grooves of drummer Phil Cimino and bassist Winston Roye. Special guests Mary Huff on harmony vocal, Keith Christopher on bass.
