The always-enigmatic Earl Hamlin Trio joins forces on the stage to defy categorization and step up the improvisation before a sold out Texas crowd in a memorable 2005 performance captured live at Haley's in Denton and featuring four tunes including "Blues Dues", "Ancient of Days", "A Face in the Mist", and "I Knew You Before". An additional workshop improvisation offers nearly a half-hour of bonus performance footage, and a fourteen-minute interview rounds out the release by allowing the band to speak about their music in their very own words.
