“After All That” is the product of several years of meaning to do something, followed by several days of getting around to it, followed by several more years of doing nothing at all. The Short Notice Showmen shovel out superb performances on this recording, often completed in a single take (not for financial reasons but because they know what they are doing). Listen to Diane (Bassmaster) and Bob (DoBro) Kordas harmonize as only married people can, while Old Time Dave Talmage saws the fiddle as if to reduce the Kordases to kordwood for winter. Dean (Guitarlem) Harlem picks and strums all six chords like he has nothing better to do, and is that the legendary Dudley Laufman playing a button box? It is! Tim Moore dishes out more mandolin than you can handle. You’ll also hear from some of your old Trashpicker favorites: Ricky T. Rigg makes the steel cry like it spilled its beer, and Fix Van Bike drums with the precision of a well-oiled digital clock.
This collection of songs is Clutter’s most exciting and diverse offering ever. It includes new, unexplored topics beyond dump picking, such as infidelity, drinking, and Christmas–there is something for everyone, folks, so dust off your ears and give it a listen!
