"The Cow Song" was written in Denmark on a small tour bus. The bus was a former ambulance van from the Dutch army. The song began trying to express the idea of forgetting really simple things like how to spell the word "hole or "there" or in this case wondering what in the world the meaning of the phrase "Till the cows come home" was. You know it but in a certain instance the concept just seems so far away. From there it was just...lemme rhyme with cow.

The song "When the Well Runs Dry" was recorded by a former incarnation of the Hugh Pool Band. It is 1 of 5 songs recorded in an old house in upstate NY. The group of songs was meant to be a follow up EP to Hugh's CD "Spirits Treat Me Gently", but one thing led to another and that EP never materialized. This track was written under the influence of Tony Joe White and is a series of recollections from Hugh's childhood which was spent on a farm in western PA.
