Although Portland, OR, rock band
44 Long's debut album, 1997's
Collect Them All, was self-released, it still managed to sell well in the Northwest, and brought the band a fair amount of positive attention, enough to gain interest from Sideburn (an offshoot of Portland-based Burnside), who issued their second record,
Inside the Horse's Head, in 1999. The band, comprised of singer and songwriter
Brian Berg (former member of the Maroons and Oblivion Seekers), who also produced and played many of the instruments for
44 Long, bassist
Eric Furlong, guitarist
Andy Ricker, and drummer
Cory Burden, didn't make another record until -- sans
Furlong -- they came together again for 2006's
