Mike rented a cool sports car and drove the perimeter of Manhattan cranking the album with some friends once it was done.

 Leo Kottke and Mike Gordon
Inspired by Gordon's memories of calypso band The Mustangs, heard on a childhood trip to the Bahamas, Sixty Six Steps is an experimental piece that deliberately sets about fusing island rhythms with Kottke and Gordon's usual folksy rock and blues.
The album succeeds as well as it does because Kottke and Gordon have held on to every single element that worked on Clone -- the otherworldly lyrics, battling guitars, and the stripped back, ultra-smooth vocals delivered with a casualness that often betrays their gravity.
Great as Gordon is -- his "The Stolen Quiet" is a perfectly twisted break-up song featuring the line, "With your diet soda gone there's more room for my beer" -- Kottke's an underrated and under-appreciated legend with a pen.
