Hard working americans full album


Hard Working Americans is the debut album from supergroup Hard Working Americans. The band consists of singer Todd Snider, bassist Dave Schools from Widespread Panic, Neal Casal of Chris Robinson Brotherhood on guitar and vocals, Chad Staehly of Great American Taxi on keyboards and Duane Trucks (Derek's younger brother) on drums.

Contents

The album is made up entirely of cover songs. The project was the brainchild of Snider, who "wanted to take his songwriting sensibility, material by people he thinks have written what he calls “perfect songs,” and sort of collide them into the jamband sensibility."

The album was recorded at Bob Weir's TRI Studios in San Rafael, CA in 2013. Schools and Snider split the production duties, while John Keane handled the mixing. Hard Working Americans was initially released on January 21, 2014 on Thirty Tigers/Melvin Records.
