Mixin’ in the Kitchen – Wrote this in 20 minutes. I know it was that long, because at the time I was teaching guitar at a music store, and one of my students was a no show, so I wrote it in between lessons.

That song is a live staple for us because it’s probably the most “pop” friendly thing we do. Johnny Cotton, as he always does, wrote some of the catchiest, funkiest, hornlines around. Joewaun Scott and Rick King on drums turned the riff and melody into something really infectious. This is how all of our songs worked on that album– I came in with the skeleton, Rick and Joewaun fleshed it out, and our horn section sealed the deal.
