Bill Kirchen and Too Much Fun
Tombstone Every Mile LP (vinyl)

Tombstone Every Mile was Bill Kirchen's first solo album, but it has been unavailable for many years.
Originally released in 1993 it featured him in his Washington DC based trio Too Much Fun.
Fellow DC area guitar man Danny Gatton was to produce the disc, but by the third day of recording he still hadn’t shown up, so Bill ended up self-producing with engineer Ed Eastridge.
The album reflects what Kirchen was doing working the Honky-Tonks in DC and points beyond.
He hadn’t been writing much material post-Commander Cody and was perfectly happy singing the classic songs of Dick Curless, Bob Wills and Buck Owens all night.
So, he called on song writing friends like Blackie Farrell, Nick Lowe and Austin de Lone, who came through with some ideal material for the album, inspiring Bill to write a couple of originals which remain in his repertoire to this day.
