After 3 albums, the great chamber-country outfit Scud Mountain Boys folded. After their demise, Joe Pernice, singer & songwriter of the band, formed the Pernice Bros. & recorded a pop-masterpiece called "Overcome By Happiness" which was released via Sub Pop (USA) & Rykodisc (Europe) to critical acclaim. The end of '99 saw the release of the self-titled album by Chappaquiddick Skyline, which was recorded with Pernice Bros. members & Jolene's John Crooke. This is Joe Pernice's first solo outing.
