Rusty Spell Strums The Mnemonic Devices

In the then-unlikely event of Rusty playing Mnemonic Devices songs live, he wanted to see how they sounded on the acoustic guitar and ended up recording every Devices song he'd written to that point. This album is a collection of his favorite eighteen from that one-night/one-day recording session of just him and the hippie guitar. And he did indeed play live half a year later.
