Amos Carter's latest tells the tale about one of his band members; Stu Milligan, rhythm guitar player. At least a certain part of Stu's anatomy, mainly his slew feet. Now being slew footed means your toes point out towards the side, the opposite of pigeon toes where the toes point inwards. Stu's had the nickname Slew Foot for a long time, since he was in the Army. He takes it with good humor, and even contributed to the writing of this song, Slew Foot Stu's Boogie. Amos told us Stu came up with the chorus for the song.
The song was recorded at Delmar Gentry's studio in Flagstaff, and Delmar produced it as well as filled in on piano for their regular piano player who couldn't make the session. Amos and his band keep adding to their original songs they can play at their gigs, as well as doing numerous covers. Amos handles the double bass and lays down a solid bass to the song as usual. Amos' band has played quite a few gigs in the Flagstaff area this past winter. Amos still works at the horse ranch since Delmar bought it, but it's not a full-time horse barn like it was before, with horses being bought, sold, and bred. So he's got a lot more time on his hands to devote to the band.
Delmar continues to support three people from his horse ranch that have made recordings. Doyle Harseth, the former owner of the ranch has more recordings in the works, Amos is always working on a new song, with Marie Flores being occupied with her mother temporarily living with her on the ranch with no foreseeable plans to record, although Delmar has said that he's working on some ideas for her when she's free.
