Tishamingo’s debut album continues to recieve critical acclaim. The album was produced in Athens, Georgia by John Keane (R.E.M., Widespread Panic, Cowboy Junkies, Indigo Girls). Original artwork by Ben S. Johnson was commisioned for the album.

"...feel free to dive headfirst into Tishamingo and ol' Scratch take the hindmost. Recorded with the able help of John Keane, the foursome brew up a potent mix of solid rock and roll with a decidedly swampy Southern tinge, clever lyrics and blistering guitar.

"Like the all-mighty Mule on its best nights, Tishamingo doesn't jam. No, no, not by a long shot. The band's grooves are tight yet airy, and any instrumental extrapolation is well-crafted by guitarists Cameron Williams and Jess Franklin. The pair also handle the vocal chores and both posses smoky, soulful pipes that'd do Greg Allman proud. The powerhouse rhythm section of Stephen Spivey on bass and Richard Proctor on drums is potent and forceful, shedding any thought of disconnected funk for a solid foundation not heard in these parts for way too long. Keane pops up here and there on various stringed instruments, and Athens' own boogie woogie king Jason Fuller adds his considerable talents on keyboards and organ..."
