Jump Back, Kerouac
Recorded from August through December of 1995 in Edmonton, AB
Released in February of 1996.
Produced by Ian Armstrong and MP.

After I finished recording “Northern Town” in May of ’93 I didn’t write another song until February of ’94. I was horrified. I thought I’d never write again. “Good Intentions”, “Lonesome And Blue”, “Back On My Feet Again” and “I Won’t Stand In Your Way” were all written in Dallas while I was recording “Northern Town”. The rest of the songs were written through ’94 and ’95. The album was all done and ready to be manufactured; when at midnight the day before we were to ship it off to the pressing plant I wrote the song “Moving On”. I felt it needed to be on the album. So I called Ian and the next morning we went in the recording studio and recorded the song in one take.

We sent it to the pressing plant later that afternoon.

I like this album a lot and lyrically it’s one of my favourites but I should have given my voice a rest before recording this album.
But, no excuses, that’s what we were… a beer drinkin’, chain smokin’, pool shootin’, rockin’ and rollin’ till 3 in the morning type of band. I can hear the lifestyle in my voice.
La vie.
