Owen Temple has spent the last few years writing some of the best songs of his career, playing shows in the Midwest and Texas, and doing graduate work in Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In early 2007, Owen teamed up with legendary steel guitar player and producer Lloyd Maines to record the new album at Ray Benson's Bismeaux Studios in Austin, Texas.
Mark Jungers exemplifies what lies at the heart of the best of Americana: gutsy, unpretentious music with soul and spirit. He was born and raised in a small farming community in Minnesota. When his father died young, Mark and his brothers were left to carry on the family farm or lose it. It was then that the steadfast work ethic of the American farmer was instilled in Mark. Greg Roberts of Country Line Magazine writes "this guy works harder than anybody I've ever seen. The list of clubs he's played looks like the yellow pages; he's everywhere."
