It appears to be a musical travelogue of where Chip's been since we last heard from him. Outstanding on all counts. As real as real gets and excellent production as well. The first riff of Bee Sting takes me right back to The Brewery, sweaty, packed dance floor, no A/C, sticking to the floor, ass whupin' of a rock show. Glad I was a part of all that, and definitely glad that Chip is still making my favorite kind of music. Mylow hasn’t left my disk player since I received it.

I was turned on to them by my favorite radio DJ (Uncle Gram on WUSC-FM 90.5), who cites them as one of the bands responsible for his return to radio in 1997. I should also mention that guitarist Steve Howell went on to form Two Dollar Pistols. Danny Kurtz (bass) and Brad Rice (guitar) both toured with Whiskeytown. Rice would of course later play with Ryan Adams, Tift Merritt, Son Volt, and now Keith Urban. I'm not sure what Kurtz is up to today, but I believe I saw him backing up Phil Lee at a gig a couple years ago.

I think I need to do some archaeology. Your review and that video have me sold. Why didn’t I know about The Backsliders? I think I need to do some archaeology.
