Rural Citizens Band l.p. (recordings from Dec 2006 – Aug 2007)

What can I say? With a few small exceptions, this album is an abortion. I was just figuring out how to use GarageBand and pretty much released anything and everything I did, no matter how bad it was. Sometimes I wonder if I intentionally made it this bad. That was almost six years ago, so who knows.

There are a couple of songs here that were remade in much better versions on later albums. I'm only including these sound files here for historicity and because I have no shame.
