When I first heard the Hog-Tie Sessions at a local club, I knew immediately this was an extraordinary band. They play a crazy fusion of bluegrass and traditional Irish tunes, influenced by what they readily admit are "too many years of studying classical music."

I helped them produce the graphics with Carol Goodling as designer and J. Underwood, artist; Will Russell at Electric Wilburland did the audio recording, mix and production.

Look for it wherever fine CDs are sold!
