Written and recorded between 1995 and 1997. Imposter Child was actually begun in 1990, in York, PA. Back then, it was called In the Attic With Jim (Too Much Dust), and did not have that groovy pop element to it yet. What I do Best, Real B ig Heart recorded in 1997, hell, most of it was, I can't keep it straight anymore. Either way, it's an ungrateful little bastard of an album. I think that's what makes it great.

The latest work released on the Smirking Pussy Records label (a subsidiary of WRECKINGBOY) is the four song EP Doyoobi. Written, recorded and released entirely in the late summer and autumn months of 2002, this is the first album released to the international audience as an entire current project, and not culled from JRH's various scribblings, soggy boxes, or attic troves to be compiled as one distinct album.

Doyoobi was recorded on a budget of about $150, and that includes the homemade picks, and the answering-machine mic used for vocals. The main purpose was simply to get back into the studio energy, and prepare for the recording of the first all-digital WRECKINGBOY album, Hand on the Karmic.

Recorded between 1993 and 1994, the songs on I Am (Not) What You Have Made Me were written between 1990 and 1993. An epic collection of songs from the 4-track days, this album captures all the crunchy just-desserts, gristle-textured bemoaning, and napalm epiphany of WRECKINGBOY in the early 90s. I Am (Not) What You Have Made Me is the first volume in a three-disc set, called Hand on the Karmic.

This album has a couple rarities: cover songs. Drunken-hearted Man is a Robert Johnson tune, and Positively 4th Street was originally penned and sung by the inimitable Bob Dylan. Needless to say, both songs get the full WRECKINGBOY treatment and take a radical turn from their original shape. Other than the lyric credit for Another Day (Joshua Ryan/E.B. Leudemann), the rest of the album is 100% WRECKINGBOY, and it is a must-have for serious collectors. There are so many classic songs on this album, there's not even space here to discuss them all. Since it is linked above, though, I would mention one thing about Sticks and Stones (Which is also true of Uh-Oh (Ha Ha), not listed here) that might be interesting to note. I did not sing over the guitar notes in an overdubbed fashion, but instead sang them as I played them. This was my tiny, tiny tip of the hat to Jimi, but mostly, it feels amazing to do, amazing to feel yourself just fall in tune with the notes so you just know, without thinking, how each note you are about to play sounds. It almost feels like merging with the music.

A long-awaited album, If I Had A Hammer was written between 2002 and 2004, and much of it born on the wreckingboy's journey from NYC to Upstate NY to Florida, and then finally, over to Oregon, in late 2001 and early 2002. Rough sketches of some of these songs were mailed out on cassette in 2002, but only to about eight people. Some of these are 8-track versions, laid down in Pro-Tools. The rest are entirely digital, from start to finish. All of them are infused with the same vicious reverence and devotion. All lyrics and vocals by the WRECKINGBOY, of course.

Dangerous Friend is the oldest song in the WRECKINGBOY catalog, probably, and the only song to be included that was not written recently. But it is an important song, and one well-known to those acquainted with thet earliest incarnations of WRECKINGBOY. Dangerous Friend was written mostly in 1989, aalthough final touches were added in 2002. People ask for the "I, I, I, I, I song" when they want to hear this one. Somehow, it has always escaped a thorough recording, but finally, it is available on If I Had a Hammer. Also valuable additions to the album are No Feeling (called a "Death Warrant" by a young lady in Australia); LiveJournal (I Hate It) (said to be "cool" by the maker of LiveJournal the site, and also highly praised by Annievox the artist); and We Met on the Internet—the unwitting theme song of so many couples, today.

Part two of the Hand on the Karmic tryptych, If I Had A Hammer comes complete with its own stick-on karma and wipe-off spatter. The echoes, however, may linger.

The album will be available for purchase in mid 2006. When it is, you can purchase a copy here. Meanwhile, free mp3 downloads are linked above. Watch this page for the release of the music video for the title song.
