Choreographer's note: I first used this track around four years ago as a source of alternative
music for the dance's '30 Something' and 'Dazed And Confuzed'...and to use a little poetic licence
with a quote from Spock (Star Trek) - "It's country, Jim....but not as we know it". The crew from
'Dead Rekoning Records' are the 'James Dean' of Country music, think of Jimi Hendrix playing 'Long
Tall Texan' and you are about half way there. Good alternate (new) Country music label thats been
around for quite a while along with it's dedicated rosta that includes founder members Keiren Kane
and Tammy Rogers.
