"These recordings capture the songs as they began," says Luckett, "with me playing an acoustic guitar and singing the basic melodies. I wanted to document versions of songs I was playing solo when the other guys couldn't make gigs. These versions differ little in structure from the originals, but sometimes the keys are different and the album is predominantly in open G. The acoustic versions of 'Capsule Wardrobe' and 'Sweet Nothings' stand up to their rock counterparts."
