As far as I know this is the only Black Thirteen album not featuring founding member Simon Sharp. If I remember correctly he had a test or a doctor's appointment or some thing else not very punk to do in the morning and so he couldn't play that night.
Wesley Rose and myself are on the album as is Joe McNeill, in (I think) his third Black Thirteen appearance. And joining the band for the first time is Ben Hurst. Ben is a very talented guitarist and songwriter who went to high school with us and afterward promptly moved to Arizona. He was back in town for the holidays and so we invited him to play.
With the involvement of both Joe and Ben the album has a bluesier flavor than the band has had on previous albums, to what is, I think, an interesting effect.
I'm honestly not sure who is playing what on every song. I know for certain that I played drums on the first two tracks, so based on what I hear and remember I will guess that:
Joe played acoustic on tracks 1 and 2, and electric on 3 and 4.
Wes played acoustic on tracks 1 and 2 and drums on 3 and 4
Ben Hurst played electric on 1 and 2 and acoustic on 3 and 4
Ben Collins played drums on 1 and 2 and acoustic on 3 and 4
It is a long album, but I think a rewarding experience.
Enjoy.
