Produit - comme l'élégant Honeycomb - par Jon Tiven, Fast Man / Raider Man, véritable feu d'artifice americana, a mobilisé une trentaine de «pointures» de Nashville et trois ex-Catholics (Rich Gilbert, Dave Philips et Lyle Workman) sur cinq sessions remarquablement courtes, étalées sur deux ans. Grâce aux recherches de Brian Salvatore, de Frankblack.net, nous savons précisément qui a interprété quoi, où et quand.
