  1. Will’s Ride 2:48 (D Yeomans) Written for 9 year old William. Like him, it has an irrepressible spirit.
  2. Tell Me Why 3:44 (D. Yeomans) A Buffalo shuffle with great vocal harmony by Willy Schoelkopf and some BB King style guitar playing.
  3. Don’t Lie To Me 3:35 (D Yeomans) Straight ahead Rock+Roll like I’ve been playing in clubs all my life. A tribute to the late, great piano player Stan Szelest.
  4. Help Somebody 4:22 (D Yeomans) A message to all of us in an uncertain world. Get involved.
  5. Stop Time 3:58 (D Yeomans) What to do if you’re running late - with a Bo Diddley beat.
  6. Jive Chai 3:23 (D Yeomans) An urban shuffle. What a great groove laid down by Nick, Gary, and Jim.
  7. Bayou Blues 4:39 (D Yeomans) Evokes the feeling of a lazy day in the Delta. Catch your breath with this one.
  8. First Flight 3:48 (D Yeomans, Jim Ehinger) A song about choices, making them, not making them, and living with them.
  9. A Man Who Loves You 3:37 (D Yeomans) We all come to a moment when we know we don’t want to lose someone and it’s time to say it.
  10. The Bluest Man In Town 3:43 (Bill Monroe) A tribute to Bill and Bluegrass Music, one of my great loves. We rocked it! I think Bill would approve.
  11. Train Ride 4:14 (D Yeomans) One of the songs I played the day I won the 2001 North American Guitar Competition. I love a good train beat and chicken pickin’.
  12. Stringin’ 3:08 (D Yeomans) The second Competition tune. Just a ‘turn it up and play it loud’ rocker.
