Says lead guitarist Erich 'Whitefeather' Brandl, 'Having recorded
Friends And Catfish at Sun Records in
Memphis and at Tonbrauerei studios in Berlin in 2013 was like a dream come true. We are extremely grateful for the tremendous support given by the entire team at St. Blues Guitar Workshop in Memphis, the team of Berliner Label Kontor in Berlin and graphics artist Conny Bolter in Innsbruck/London for helping us with putting this album together. In fact, one of the tracks on the album, "
Solitary Man", prominently features two tailor-made cigar-box guitars by St. Blues Guitar Workshop, which we're hugely proud of.'
