Soul Biscuits!

In keeping up with the fine "missing pieces" series, a new comp of unreleased songs and covers comes out this month with Soul Biscuits! (add exclamation point) a collection of songs that were slated for 2011 album but got shelved when my ex moved down here to be with me for a year.  Also a good chuck of songs came from a late December 2012 session which yielded some cover versions to see if we had anything left to prove, as well as some songs that didn't make the No Exit cut but we put the copyright down as a 2012 release.  That way we proved that there was an actual album release that year.

The tracking order:

1.  My Girl Josephine (Barthomelow/Domino) 3:00
2.  Down On The Farm (Smith/Redding/Tyla) 4:55
3.  Queen Of Anamosa (Acoustic Version)(Smith) 2:30
4.  Walk A Thin Line (Smith/Orbit) 4:09
5.  I Thank You (Porter/Hayes) 3:24
6.  Amtrak Baby (Smith/Miller/Castleman) 2:09
7.  Jet Airliner (Pena) 4:58
