2020 - der Telecaster-Meister Bill Kirchen war als Gründungsmitglied von Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen im Jahr 1967 dabei, als Americana anfing, groß zu werden. Gitarrespielen war seitdem sein einziger Job. Seit 2006 nahm Bill Kirchen seine Alben exklusiv im Proper Records 'Specific Tonstudio in London auf. Alle 38 Tracks, einschließlich Bonusmaterial, sind in diesem 2CD-Set enthalten. Zu den Gästen zählen Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Paul Carrack, Commander Cody, Dan Hicks, Maria Muldaur, Butch Hancock und mehr bei dieser Tour-de-Force von Americana und Alternative Country.
