The Nuge's second solo album. Derek St. Holmes plays and sings on it - but they split during the making of the record. Hey - Meat Loaf even sings on it. I played his Cat Scratch Fever album and love a couple of songs on that one - but the cover of FFA is way better. Those songs are Homebound (an instrumental) and Live it Up. Play those songs loud. As for his signature guitar, (shown) I know a bit about Gibson guitars, but I had to look this one up. It is called The Byrdland, a jazz guitar, designed by jass guitarists Billy Byrd and Hank Garland. Gibson tells us those two were "first-call" Nashville session musicians. And also, "Outwardly every bit a Gibson, this model featured design elements that were radical, even revolutionary, in its day." It debuted in 1955 with a rounded cutaway. Ted sure has made the Byrdland his own.
And here is the inside gatefold photo of Free-for-All.
