Tift describes this week's 96-proof selection as "the damn saddest song that I've ever written."

A chance airport encounter with a former college friend led to "After Today," a selection from the upcoming album See You On The Moon. The college friend had become a public defender, and he shared stories with Tift about some of his cases. You'll hear how those stories affected Tift if you head to this Web site's downloads section and listen.
