HOOVER
The Lost Outlaw Album
Before kissing country music and Nashville goodbye and riding off into the sunset in the early 1970's, ASCAP Award winning, single name songwriter and former Monument and Epic recording artist, Hoover, cut one last album at what was known as "Outlaw Headquarters" at 916 19th Ave. South. Hoover, part of the original country music outlaw movement and a late-night-neon-campfire associate of Kinky Friedman, Waylon Jennings, Billy Joe Shaver and Tompall Glaser, considered this album his best. It was never released, and the master recording was lost after "Outlaw Headquarters" studio ceased to exist. Decades passed and Hoover and the lost outlaw album were forgotten. One fan who didn't forget was Cathy Flanagan, who, acting swiftly on a telephone tip in the spring of 1997, literally retrieved Hoover's master tapes from a Nashville dumpster moments before they would have been hauled away for good. Although most of the documentation for the album was not recovered, the following is known: The album was recorded in 1971-1972. Three cuts, "Unwanted Outlaw", "Subjectively Speaking", and "The One You're Thinkin' Of" were not found. Cuts include: Absolute Zero, Jesus Don't Drive No Fastback Ford, I'm The Loneliest Man IEver Met (co-written w/ Kinky Friedman), Freedom To Stay, Hamilton Jones, Can I HelpYou?, Take My Hand, Sweet Lady Jane, and I Only Wrote It For You. All songs writtenby Hoover except as noted. Recorded at Glaser Studios (aka 'Outlaw Headquarters'); Producers: Hoover and Chuck Glaser, Engineers: Claude Hill and Kyle Lehning, Vocals: Hoover, Guitar: Hoover, Randy Scruggs, Biff Watson and John Hoffman, Steel Guitar and Dobro: Doyle Grisham, Keyboards: Bobby Woods and Buck Fell, Fiddle: Buddy Spicher, Bass: Joe Osborne, Gary Scruggs and and Bill Holmes, Drums: Mickey Jones, John Corneal and Larrie London

KINKY FRIEDMAN
Under the Double Ego
Under The Double ego was originally recorded in 1982 and released on Sunrise Records. It was produced by Sammy Allred at Third Coast Studios in Austin, Texas. Musicians: Harmony Vocals - Chris O’Connell; Piano - Resse Wynans; Lead guitar - Bill Wise; Mandolin, Background vocals - Sammy Allred; Rythm Guitar - Wayne Smith; Bass - Dale Jacobs; Drums - Reno Mussatto

The recordings were seemingly forgotten for 21 years until they were discovered by a Jesuit priest who just happened to be traveling on the sunny side of the street, over the river, thru the woods past grandmother’s house, down by the ol’ mill stream, in a cave behind a waterfall, in a hole in the ground under a velvet painting of Elvis. Sphincter Records was able to procure them (by a hooker and a couple of crooks) and had them lovingly remastered digitally by Drummond the drunken Druid and now for the first time they are available on CD!
