36 Year “Street Machine” Anniversary!

Aaah Street machine. Yes 36 years ago and I'm still a motorhead from hell – still love them cars, still singing about 'em, driving 'em, buying them ha!

That was also the first solo album I produced myself. Bill the Electric Church on bass, Gary Pihl on guitar, and the late Chuck Ruff on drums. Chuck came up with the coolest drumbeat ever on Trans Am. I remember I thought it was played backwards, but he knew where the "one" was – Ha.

Looking at this cover, that was really my car and really my license plate that said "IEATZ28" got me in a lot of trouble on the highway with them Chevy owners. Bill Church being one of them. Almost all the guitar work on this record was done live with Gary and I playing at the same time and exchanging solos like on Trans Am, etc. Fun record still sounds good today. Plain Jane all-time classic!
