2006 marked a pretty good decade for The Tyler Thompson Band. ìI can still remember walking with Paul into the 30th Street Bar and seeing the Tyler Brothers getting after it,î recalls Wade Thompson. ìAfter the show I jumped on stage to see if they might be interested in getting together with our rhythm section.î ìI remember that,î adds Mike Tyler, ìYou stepped on my guitar pedal and I cussed you out.î Despite the clumsy introduction, a few days later that chance meeting in a Des Moines, IA club culminated into an all night jam session on Christmas Day, 1996. On December 26th Wade Thompson, Paul Thompson, Mike Tyler and Jacob County Berhow were the Tyler Thompson Band. ìWe immediately began playing incessantly which helped develop our unique song structure formula based around Mike Tylerís poetic lyrical styleî says Jacob.

Tyler Thompson Bandís first album ìFine Young Manî caught the ear of Allman Brotherís band tour mystic Kirk West. With his help in 1998 TTB was fortunate enough to travel to Macon Georgia and recorded ìLiving On the Borderî in the historic Capricorn Studios. The band was fortunate to have great musicians such as Chuck Leavell (Allman Brothers Band, Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton) Leroy Parnell, Col. Bruce Hampton ret., and Mick Thomson of Slipknot lend their talents to the record.

Since then TTB has honed their live show playing all over the US and Europe sharing the stage with The Allman Brothers Band, Derek Trucks Band, Govt. Mule, Little Feat, Robert Randolph and The Family Band, Phil Lesh and Friends, and many more.

After a two year hiatus in 2005-2006 and becoming frustrated with the major label smoke and mirrors games, the band approached local Des Moines indie label Authentic Records with their finished copy of ìCold Cuts.î ìI was really stoked when we got the call from Tyler Thompson,î Mike Butterworth co-owner of Authentic Records told me. ìWe have been fans of the band for years and the record is amazing.î Authenticís other founder Jason Walsmith said. ìThe band came down to our SXSW showcase this year and floored a crowd of 800 people at two in the afternoon. We are very excited to be working with the band!î

ìCold Cutsî was recorded with Brian Vance at Vance Studios in Ankeny. When asked how this album compares to their previous high dollar record Paul Thompson says, ìIt is our finest work to date. We feel that we were able to capture the bands true vibe.î Wade adds, ìWe were most fortunate to be able to take our time with the recording process and comb over every nuance until it was just so.î ìWe are also very excited to be working with Authentic Records,î Mike Tyler told me. ìThey are a family of real musicians who are out there doing it, and not just big talkers. Musicians helping musicians.î
