Singer, songwriter, and musician Neal Casal took his life as sessions for this project began. We decided to include a Casal song to pay tribute and as a way to underscore the project’s purpose. This song, from the 1995 album "Fade Away Diamond Time," jumped out. This farewell to a troubled friend now took on darker meaning - something reflected by the song’s accelerated tempo; the probing urgency of Josh Daniel’s vocal and the edgy guitar solos by Rob Slater and Joey Recchio, whose explosive ending solo perfectly conveys a frantic state of mind.
