Myron Elkins never intended to pursue music as a career. He had every intention of making welding his career when he entered the workforce in his hometown of Otsego, Michigan, after receiving his high school diploma. But destiny had other ideas. Even though Elkins' only prior experience with live music was performing at church and a few bars in the small Michigan town where he was raised, a relative signed him up for a battle of the bands at a nearby venue. Elkins put together a band with three of his relatives and a buddy on three weeks' notice. Elkins was introduced to a radically different professional route by the experience, despite the fact that the team didn't win (they placed second).
Elkins' grandpa taught him how to play the guitar on the porch and introduced him to early country music greats like George Jones and Waylon Jennings. He acquired a rich, gravelly singing voice through Sunday church singing, as do many young children. Elkins also started creating his own music after being moved by family members' tales of life in West Virginia mining camps.
For the young ensemble, recording in a studio represented a significant advancement. Fortunately, Elkins and his band were already fans of Dave Cobb's live-band production style prior to signing with Elektra/Low Country Sound and as a result, they delighted in the opportunity to record with him at his studio, Nashville RCA Studio A. Elkins left the session with Cobb already looking forward to creating his next album..
