25 On by The Rainmakers

In 2011, after a 12-year hiatus, the Rainmakers got back together with a new guitarist, Jeff Porter. Jeff had played with Bob Walkenhorst every Wednesday night at the Recordbar in Kansas City for seven years, and the two had released an acoustic-oriented album under the name Walkenhorst & Porter in 2009, so he wasn't exactly an unknown quantity. A tour of Norway was scheduled for March, and Rich Ruth lived and worked in Nashville, so time was tight. An album of new material was recorded in five days at Pat Tomek's home studio, mixed by Bob in his studio, and the project was delivered a mere three weeks from the date recording started.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band's first album, it was titled 25 On.
