In summer of 2003, Kimberly Morgan left San Francisco and traveled home to Kentucky with plans to do a lot of writing. There she lived on a boat on Lake Cumberland and played music at "The Harbor Restaurant". (She'd play for tips while folks were having dinner.) It was a beautiful summer and her surroundings served as a great backdrop for musical inspiration considering the hills of Kentucky were where a lot of the old bluegrass and country genre originated. She met Brad (Morgan)(Drive-by Truckers) in June of that year and they married just 2 and a half month's later. On their wedding day, she met Wendy and Adam Musick! (Southern Bitch) She and Wendy became instant great friends, and now, Athens, GA was home!



Wendy was really supportive in the lonely weeks that Brad and the Truckers were on the road. Subsequently, they would spend evenings at the Musick's house, drinking, burning fires in the backyard, playing guitars and singing. Pretty soon they started learning each other's songs and styles and decided that they needed to harness the fun we were having in the back yard and put it on a

record!



"Brad and I had always planned to get these songs recorded, so he was

very happy that I found some folks as excited about the music as he was.

Wendy and I started practicing and scheduled a show at The Flicker. (Athens, GA) Adam, of course, was around for most of our shenanigans, and one day sat in on our practice with a banjo I had stashed in the corner. Next thing you

know, he was pulling out the pedal steel and the Ever-Lovin' Band was formed."



Chuck Bradburn (Southern Bitch) came to the Everlovin' Band after their first show. He lived next door to Adam and Wendy and was around for most of the practices, so it all fell into place. "Funny how things come together that way. Quite lucky for me. I feel very blessed to be surrounded by such talented friends! I love them very much!"
