THIRTEEN reveals an artist with a great deal on his mind and a full arsenal of skills with which to express his thoughts and feelings in a captivating way. The album features an all-star cast: keyboardists Sean Slade and Jim Dickinson, bassist Dusty Wakeman, drummer Winston Watson and Wavelab's Craig Schumacher, who produced and engineered the album. Furtago makes an exponential leap into the wide open spaces of mythopoetic America, a terrain inhabited by such personal heroes as Cooder, the Band, Creedance, Petty and Waits. This heartfelt, multi-talented work completed Tony's ascent from the folk circuit to the big leagues.
