The song is called Phat Chance, and it's about my sense of regret over being too cheap to record at Fat Tracks (though I came close on a couple of occasions). In opting to be a cheapskate, I robbed myself of the opportunity to be where two unique Bakersfield sounds were created, the sound...

Bakersfield rocker Brian "Head" Welch has hit one of the most coveted lists in the literary world: the New York Times Best Seller List.
And he broke the top 20.
