Third Interval's house band Chopped Wood always starts with Mike and Zach Dresser. If needed, we then round up whomever we can to fill in the gaps. The outcome is never quite known until the final mix.

CWB are just having some fun. We don’t really care what we’re playing, as long as what’s in the moment is where we’re collectively located. If that makes any sense…

A collection of 6 songs that tell a story of a man up on his age and down on his luck. Having had the best of family comfort in the past, he finds himself alone and living in a late 19th century poorhouse. Helplessness, frustration and a little bitterness blended with fond thoughts of past experiences creates an edgy, yet soulful feel to the music

Helplessness, frustration and a little bitterness blended with fond thoughts of past experiences creates an edgy, yet soulful feel to the music and lyrics. The 7th and last song in the set is an uplifting, finger-picking acoustic guitar and percussion musical passage that leaves the listener upbeat.

CWB covers this Steve Earle song off of his Jerusalem album released in 2002. The original has Emmylou Harris singing this duet with Steve and has always been a recurring song in my head. Replacing Emmylou on this version (and doing a fantastic job!) is Jackie Flanagan. Many thanks to Jackie, Carl Johnson, Jim Kelly and Zach Dresser for putting in

Hope you like it and Steve approves.
