"It's Not As Bad As It Looks" was recorded and mixed by Stuart Sullivan in the last days of June, 2009 at Wire Recording in Austin, TX, against all odds. Produced by the "Trinity of Terror Team" - Sullivan/Hardwick/Graham, assisted and engineered by Joey Benjamin. Mastered by Dave McNair at Sterling Sound in NYC. Michael Hardwick played every conceivable sort of guitar, from electric to acoustic to both lap and pedal steel Andrew Duplantis played bass and sang like a choir boy Joey Shuffield played drums and percussion Daren Hess played drums on ?La La (La-La-La)? Jon Dee sang and played acoustic and electric and lap steel guitar Mike, Andrew and Jon Dee all played keyboards at some point - piano, B3, pump-organ - and we sorta lost track of who played what keyboard on what song, so you'll just have to guess.

McCarty, who graced us with some BG vocals, and who is an Honorary Fighting Cock anyway. Thank you Fighting Cocks (All the way to State! Yay Cocks!). Jon Dee wishes to thank his very patient family, Edgar Heckmann, Heinz Geissler, Matt Eskey, my Taj Mahal - The Continental Club, Joe and David and the Saxon Pub, KUT, KGSR, Jody Denberg, The Finkelpearls (God Bless the Safe House).
