  2. Robinson & Roby song titles unconfirmed.  Based on concert review at http://www.jambands.com/nov99/regional/southeast.html

  3. Hey There, Mrs. Lovely = “This is a song about somebody that I really used to like a whole lot, and I don’t’ if I like anymore.  It’s not about me.”

  4. Statuettes With Wounds = “I wrote this song for Caitlin.  It’s a really interesting song – for her.  It’s actually for her to sing on her record – but, um – I’ve got it right in my back pocket where it’s been for however long it took to get moist with butt sweat.”

  5. My Heart Is Broken = CC: “One time we were in a van going to Memphis and I had read a book that had a title that I really liked and it was named ‘My Heart Is Broken’ and I said I want to steal that line and I said Ryan ‘Help me write the most heart-breaking country song you can think of.’”  RA:  “We were actually in the back of this van – we were actually driving to Memphis.”  CC:  “That’s what I said.”  RA:  “Sorry I just got back from la-la land.  I visit there quite often, sometimes in between thoughts.  Yeah, we didn’t have a guitar either, we just like knew the note, that’s the really interesting thing about this song.”
