American Hands by Alan Rose and the Restless Elements
Third release overall, and the first with a band. CDs were manufactured and printed professionally through the efforts of Pat Burke. The 16-page booklet was more complicated to get right than the music in a lot of ways. Each song has its own page, with a carefully selected background image and props.
