When we travel with Little Feat, we sometimes get asked to go to radio stations to do promotion for shows, and "could you please bring a couple of guitars and play a tune or two?" was always one of the "requests" we would get.

We realized that by playing these songs with just two acoustic instruments, it put a whole new spin on the material - made it more bluesy, rootsy, almost folk like - and we really started to get into it.

We were asked to come to Japan and play some shows, and that was the beginning of our spin-off career as a duet.
