He had lost both cars and much musical band equipment due to the storm. Tony also had to rebuild his home recording studio. In testing out some of the new studio equipment; Tony and Mark Regula decided to embark on a small studio project of cover songs.
One of the songs they picked is the classic blues song: "The Thrill Is Gone". This song has been inspirational to most lovers of American roots music; and especially this was true for Tony and Mark. They wanted to get a real soulful feel to the song; so they enlisted the help of Bruno Pezzulich to play Bass, Zoe Grella to play both drums and congas, and Mark's cousin: Gary Flood to play a couple of guitar solos. The duo had no intentions to duplicate the poignancy of BB King's recording; but what they wanted to do on this recording was to create their own musical signature to this classic. The songs covered on the EP serves as a nod of respect to some great songs and legendary recording artists.
