Discography
The newest release is Music In the Key of Z
This record is a 10 track very organic,live-feel studio recording done in Alvin, Texas... produced by John Evans and engineered by Mikey Ferrara.
It features 8 original tracks and 2 tracks from other artists (with their permission, of course) and ranges in style and structure from very country to spaghetti western, heavy soulful rockin blues to foot stompin hand clappin to bongos, bass & acoustic.
It's a great variety in small doses that really gives the listener a feel for what they do at live shows, where they also play about 80% original and 20% covers (of course Ziggyfied with their own twist and style).
