Don't Explain - a compilation of songs Brian has written (except I Ride An Old Paint) between 1984 and 2003. Yes, it took almost 20 years to write 10 songs. Don't Explain, Silverado, Universal Welfare Line and Fatal Desire were all pretty much finished in their present form during the 80's while Brian was living in Silverado Canyon. All In Your Mind and Loser were written concurrently in 1989 or 1990 and haven't changed much since (although the feel of Loser has changed several times during the recording process). Last Goodbye came to Brian in the early 90's as an inexpensive substitute for thousands of dollars' worth of therapy to deal with the significant loss of family and friends. Try Too Hard was written in Bryce Canyon over New Years of 2001-2002. In July 2002 Chris gave Brian his Martin Backpacker® which inspired Brian to write 31 Days which, for the record, is not about Chris (who had the courage to change his life), but rather about people who talk a lot but do nothing to crawl out of the hole. Sortin' It Out was written in October 2002 during a Colorado/South Dakota/Wyoming road trip.

The CD was produced and engineered by Brian, Jon Mattox and Bob Harrington with a lot of help from friends and family. It was mastered by Matt Forger who has worked with a bunch of losers like Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones and Paul McCartney to name a few.

Brian picked up the CD's on Sunday, August 30th, so they're ON HAND AND READY TO BUY!! Jon also uploaded it to iTunes and other online music stores, so if you prefer e-media, go get your copy now!!
