A long time coming, this record was recorded in a series of sessions over several years. All of the takes are live, with very little embellishment beyond what was happening in the room at that moment. A document of seven years worth of songs, this record finally brings Ryan's dynamic live to show a recorded format credits released 24 September 2011 Produced by: David "Goody" Goodrich Engineered and Mixed by: Mark Thayer at Signature Sounds Studios, Pomfret CT Mastered by: Ian Kennedy at New Alliance Design, Art Direction: Susan DeAngelis Photography: Jamie Meditz Ryan Fitzsimmons - guitar and vocals featuring: The Ryan Fitzsimmons Band: Jim Larkin - drums Dana Price - violin on 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, vocals on 1, 2, 10 Faisal Aswat - bass on tracks 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 10 Ian Goldstein - mandolin on tracks 2, 3, 4, 8, 10, electric guitar on 1, 6, Exile on Elm St: Kara Kulpa - violin on 5, 9, 11, lap steel on 7, vocals on 5, 11 Danielle Miraglia - vocals on 7, 9, and 11 Greg Klyma - mandolin on 5, 11, vocals on 5, 11 Tom Bianchi - upright bass on 5, 11, vocals on 11 David "Goody" Goodrich - fender rhodes on 1, electric guitar on 7 Thank you to Meredith Fitzsimmons, Sean Grimes, Sue DeAngelis, Jamie Meditz, Marilyn Edge, Mom, Todd, Craig, Krissy, Jimmy, Justin, Riley, Uncle Pat, Dick, Beth, Chris, Mariah and Ella Venner, Jason Kitayama, Sam Margolis, John Windle, Yukon Stubblebine, Mike Piehl, Laurence Scudder, Jake Bush, Dietrich Strause, Hugh McGowan, Tim Lewandowski, Jeff Gaynor, Brett Hobin, Corey Hobin, Matthew Giannaros, Ryan Montbleau, Todd Lehman, Brendan Hogan, Dar Williams, Patrick Norton and the Narrows Center for the Arts, Nancy Scott, Joe Stewart, Billy Beard and The Lizard Lounge, Jeremy Gotlieb and Toad, Matt Smith and Club Passim, The Flying Furlanis and No Place Special, Kathy Sands-Boehmer, Geoff Bartley, Jamie Barth, Rob Mattson, Tom Groleau, Chuck Anastasiou, Kevin O'Brien, Adam Sweeney, Erik Alan, Levin Schwartz, all the rest of the Amity Front, Rusty Belle, Brian Austin Whitney, Ourstage.com, John Fuzek, Joanne Lurgio and RISA, Tracey Delfino, Shawna Lea Kelley, Everyone at The Music Emporium, and Gus.
