Guitarist-songwriter Will Kimbrough had been playing lead guitar with Todd Snider and the Nervous Wrecks for about six months when the band did a three-week tour of Europe that included stops in Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Austria, The Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, plus a date in London on their way back home.

Kimbrough kept a journal during his time with the Nervous Wrecks and recently shared some of his journal entries with The Snider Files, as well as other recollections of the tour.
