	Way, Way Kooler Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #1 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) An R&B groover with twin Les Pauls carrying the melodies. Taking-off from a tune entitled Way Cool from Rik's Swing Shift CD of 1998.
	Why Baby Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #2 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) The lead single, with a vocal by Rik. Smooth jazzing on a turn-table lyric. Great feel from drummer Mike Churchill.
	Deeper Kind of Blue Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #3 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) Two Les Pauls deliver the instrumental version of this melodic ballad, with respect to Jeff Beck. Some terrific keyboard stuff from Don Breithaupt.
	Only Time Will Tell -- preview Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #4 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) Dave's heartfelt lead vocal debut: Rik's lyrics return to one of his traditional themes, and Dave set the melody with an elegant simplicity.
	52 Pickup -- preview Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #5 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) A riff, a bopping Latin groove [kudos to drummer Mike Shotton], a catchy chorus. A lot of electric fun.
	Miracle of Love -- preview Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #6 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) Reggae underscores Rik singing a feel-good story, as Dave plays some earthy slide.
	And The River Still Runs -- preview Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #7 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) The familiar heart & soul territory of an acoustic duet by the Troubs: a follow-up to "Dos Arroyos" from the first album.
	Declaration -- preview Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #8 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) Dave had the verse of the song working as a demo: Rik contributed a chorus that declared the creativity quite liberating. The song got big. Unmistakable contribution from Katalin Kiss on BG's.
	Red Hot -- preview Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #9 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) The Troubs doing what they do - beating up their acoustics with a mash-up of styles. Definitely not 'commercial', but a good justification for the making of indie recordings.
	Deeper Kind of Blue (p.s.) Download it now for Only $1.00!	Track #10 from the Troubs latest PUSH & PULL (MP3 audio) Dave suggested to Rik that, if the instrumental tune had a lyric and a tender vocal, it might make a great p.s. for the CD - in the same way that "Suitcase Blues' had graced the Triumph "Just a Game" album back in 1979, and had become a Troubs concert staple as the encore closer. Hopefully, some new Troubs concert traditions will be established by these new songs.
	Mike's Garage (4-pack) -- preview Download it now for Only $4.99!	"Mike's Garage" - a kids� album, born from a TV show concept by singer/songwriter Mike Shotton. These four tunes were co-written by Rik Emmett and feature him on guitar.
