Taproot · 21st February 2009

I engineered a couple of records for Dale Hawkins (O-Suzy-Q, etc.). He's quite a pioneer and character to boot! I thought "Wildcat Tamer" was a quick demo w/ everyone in a circle in a 12' x 12' room playing at once. Thought nothing of it. 6 months later, it had a 5 star review in Rolling Stone. DOH!!!

Not a sonic masterpiece by any stretch, but it rocks!
