In return, the folks at Sun Studios offered a free studio session at the legendary Sun Recording Studio. The group spent three hours calling off tunes in a live roots type of recording.....And the rest, as they say, is HISTORY! The album was entitled, "Two Hits For The Kitty" (The Sun Studio Sessions) and it went on to spend 18 weeks in the World's Blues Chart at Roots Music Report. Glen Moberg of Wisconsin Public Radio called it, "The Ultimate Road Trip!" The "Road Trip" continued in 2007 to another legendary studio, Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL. The group hooked up with long time Wisconsin Blues Master, Otis McLennon and legendary Muscle Shoals sidemen David Hood (original swamper) and Mike Dillon. This album was also recorded "live" in the studio as the boys recorded for seven hours straight. The album was entitled "Get Gone" and success was again at hand. Get Gone spent 17 weeks on the World's Blues Chart! In 2010, the group decided to do an "in-studio" album,
