Telecaster master Bill Kirchen was right there at the BIG BANG of Americana as a founder member of Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen in 1967. Playing guitar has been his only job ever since. Over a ten-year period commencing in 2006, he made albums exclusively at Proper Records' Specific Sound studio in London - until it was demolished when we moved premises. This limited-edition vinyl album contains a selection of highlights from the period. (All thirty-eight tracks including some bonus material are available on a two-CD set). Guests include Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur and Austin De Lone.
