Thompson says of his fellow trio members: 'Michael Jerome has been with me for about 12 years. He's actually from Texas; he is a great musician, able to respond to anything that's put in front of him. Taras Prodaniuk worked a lot with Dwight Yoakam, and more recently with Lucinda Williams. His roots may be in country music, but he's another extremely gifted and versatile musician.'
