The Weisstronauts
In Memphis CD
2009
$10

The "In Memphis" EP was recorded almost entirely live at historic Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee during a brief stop in the band's June 2008 tour. Engineered by Jeff Powell (Cat Power, Big Star, Allman Brothers, etc.), and mixed by Pete Weiss (at Verdant Studio in Vermont), this 4-song EP catches the band in a creative and unguarded chunk of time. The rhythm section of Jeff Norcross and Nathan Logus particularly shine, as do the the spontaneous guitar solos of George Hall, Kenny Lafler, and Pete Weiss. Definitely a new and different kind of Weisstronauts recording, this CD release is strictly limited to 300 "hand numbered' copies..

This album is also available for download/purchase at Apple's iTunes Store.

Sool Sooltime CD 2005 "That's a good CD." --Michael Hurley, folk-psych legend Visit www.soolmusic.com This album is also available for download/purchase at Apple's iTunes Store.		The sophomore album from Sool is comprised of 52 tracks, each about a minute long. Here's the gist of it: Robocop travels the world and pierces listeners' psyches, 10-year-old Timmy Franklin rides his silver-plated scooter to meet the Devil and eventually surfs a tornado up to his own personal azure, a man evokes the Heimlich Maneuver to win the heart of his hippy hostess, guitar lessons are given away for free, Cajun pastries cause massive brain damage, a homeless man yearns to return to the capital of Florida, Christmas comes and goes, and love, lust, and yearning are everywhere from the supermarket to the bottom of a bottle to the tip of a banana. Sooltime Radio Ad MP3 Also contains an mp3 Sool commentary of the group's first CD.

Pete Weiss & the Rock Band We're An American Band CD 2000 PW&RB conceived of recording an EP of covers (Grand Funk, Beatles, Zappa, T Rex, and Cream, to be exact). Then they conceived of throwing in the rock 'n roll towel. Some pretty decent (and strange) studio tidbits were combined with the covers and --voila!-- a farewell album was born. Actually it's dang good.
