Daddy raised the roof on February 18th and 19th in Frankfort Kentucky, invading a Women's Club building that dated back 100 years or better to record this album LIVE. Tommy Womack and Will Kimbrough brought their songwriting to the table while teaming up with Dave Jaques (bass guitar, Johh Deaderick (keys) and Paul Griffith (drums). What a team they were. Will Kimbrough announced that Daddy was a Jam Band for people who like ragtime and they proceeded to rock the house with tune after tune of raw unadulterated rock and roll with a hint of delta blues, 70's rock and Kimbrough/Womack talent. Every track on the album reveals a fresh approach by two songsters that have became comfortable with the fact that being Daddies has made them better. Seasoning them to perfection like a fine Christmas feast. The songs speak for themselves, the sounds will heal the wounds that have been dealt by mediocre rock radio that has permeated the Clear Channel world dominate soundwaves. Daddy is Rock and Roll Therapy needed in the worst way! Daddy is the best kept secret that Nashville is not gonna be able to keep in the bag!

Today's rock and country radio can really beat down one's desire to tune in. With the consolidation of programming, fewer choices for those with a defined sense of musical taste exist. Mainstream versions of those genres have wandered aimlessly toward something that most fans simply cannot identify with today.

Enter Tommy Womack and Will Kimbrough, Nashville survivors and industry undergrounders with grit. Together their songwriting and performance credits could fill this page, but it suffices to say that it would be hard to find two more capable unknowns in the business.

This live album is their debut release and shows off the duo's ability to write music that not only entertains but inspires a little juke-joint butt-shaking. With country-twang and a few Rolling Stone's licks, this disc covers all the bases that mainstream music has ignored.
