It was later put out on the album, Mayfield - a band Curt formed circa 1997 which featured him on vocals and bass (duh), Charlton Pettus on guitar (also his writing partner), Doug Petty (brother of Dan Petty from Marry Me Jane) and Russ Irwin (he toured with Aerosmith once as one of their backup vocals) on keys, and Shawn Pelton (SNL drummer) on drums.
