Porkbelly Futures

Many Porkbelly fans know that Paul and Marty began professional careers together, eventually becoming the rhythm section of Joe Hall's legendary Continental Drift and then making records as a duo. Their debut album as a duo, in fact, yielded the #1 Canadian hit single Baby and the Blues, which was pretty good for first chance at bat (helped along no doubt by Daniel Lanois' catchy pedal steel playing). The boys' exhilaration was short-lived, however, as the small label they were on was completely unprepared for success and couldn't supply enough product to stores to meet the demand. Today, Paul and Marty refer to that single as having been #1 With an Anchor! HERE'S the album which yielded that gem (among others).
