Leftover Salmon
The first album of new material in five years, produced by Little Feat's Bill Payne.
Leftover Salmon, 2004
The band's page credits LoS Records and Wikipedia and George Graham say Compendia. James Tuttle engineered and mixed, and David Glasser mastered at Airshow in Boulder. Emmitt told Jambands in 2004 that the band felt ready about two years after Vann's death, wanted a producer who could bring all of this together, and that Payne had supported the Vann benefit shows; "Fayetteville Line" is Garrison's song about Vann, "Weary Traveler" was recorded within an hour of first trying it, and they chose the title Leftover Salmon as a new beginning. Payne plays piano on "Whispering Waters". George Graham called it probably the group's most musically solid release yet, and Country Standard Time's Ken Burke counted it the eighth album and the first since Vann's death.
A "Just Keep Walking" by Payne is mentioned in the Jambands feature but is not on the 11-track list on the official page, so another edition may exist.
