Liner Notes
Nine tracks from the earliest sessions — where it all began. Studio recordings beside raw, unpolished live cuts. The sound of a songwriter awake and testing the edges.
The Waking Hours is the foundation. You can hear the ambition outpacing the experience, and that's part of what makes it special. The live recordings from Pittsburgh venues capture the energy and raw talent of those early shows, while studio tracks like Maybe Off to Wonder and Tinseltown hint at the songwriter who would emerge in later records.
This is where Tiny Chinese, Fractured, and Voodoo Child first appeared in their live forms — recordings that would follow Jay Trainer through every album that came after.
