I'd always wanted to record with my old friend Victor Sanders and finally got around to it. When I made this, I was putting most of my energy into running Waterbug Records, but I wanted to get something out. I chose songs I already knew how to play, and filled up the disc with 21 songs. Some of my best songs are here, "Tunnel Vision," "Journey," "When My Time Comes." "While Jesus Was Waiting to Die" is about as loose as I've gotten in a studio. Andrew Bird had been an intern at Waterbug, he played fiddle on "Here Comes That Lady Again." Catch him on the road with Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire. The title was Kat Eggleston's idea.
Phoenix Envy is available through Waterbug Records.
