k. cortez.- Good list of possibilities there. The truth is bound to emerge in  down the road.  FWIW,  T-Bone was supposedly going to produce an album of old and mostly obscure R &amp; B covers, similar to "Raising Sand",  with The Who about a year ago.  However I don't think it got past the talking stage.  Pete is now supposedly writing again, we'll see.  

Anyway,  we can only wait and hope whatever they come up with this Batson will be good enough to get some airplay, since this band deserves way more recognition than it gets now.  I am very encouraged by the quote from Scott.
