This Living Hand
The name is taken from the title of one of Clay's favorite poems by John Keats, the band is based on the songwriting of vocalist/guitarist Hubbard and the arrangements and production of guitarist Clay Jones. In the summer of 1995 the band signed with E Pluribus Unum Recordings in Los Angeles and released their full-length Consolation Prize in October, with a national tour following. Their debut Consolation Prize was recorded over four days at Easley Studios in Memphis, home to The Grifters, Wilco, Pavement and Guided by Voices. In order to fund the recording session, Hubbard sold off a valuable baseball card collection.
Neilson moved to Nashville, opened Mr. Lemons’ Studio and continued producing records for the likes of Garrison Starr, Glen Phillips, Matthew Ryan, Amelia White, Strays Don't Sleep, Michelle Malone, Kate York, Jeremy Lister, Matthew Perryman Jones, and others.

Famous quotes containing the words living and/or hand:
“[T]here is no situation so deplorable ... as that of a gentlewoman in real poverty.... Birth, family, and education become misfortunes when we cannot attain some means of supporting ourselves in the station they throw us into. Our friends and former acquaintances look on it as a disgrace to own us.... If we were to attempt getting our living by any trade, people in that station would think we were endeavoring to take their bread out of their mouths.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do with your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 9:10.
