'In my head I saw the sun rising on a gulf coast beach. Willie (circa 1978) and Drake (circa now) are passing a joint back and forth, still drunk from the night before. Willie asks Drake to name his Top 3 least favorite singers. Drake says that it's easy: Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Buffett, Jimmy Buffett. Willie laughs and suggests they try to make a boozy beach record, but without any of the Buffett cheese. Drake says okay. So Drake and Willie drive down the celestial highway to Athens, Georgia circa 1998 and ask Robert Schneider (Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control, Neutral Milk Hotel) to record them. Drake gets a call from his manager. He actually can't do this any time soon. Willie smirks. Says his hangover is setting in. Willie gets back into Drake's 1988 Ferrari Testarossa and they head back west. As Willie is getting out of Drake Ferrari at Luck, he says to Drake "you know, I heard about this Austin guy, Walker Lukens, who's pretty obsessed with both of us. Maybe we should let him do this project." Drake bites into a passionfruit. Boom. Enter me. ' - Walker Lukens 

All the proceeds from this record will go to H.A.A.M
