"The Wake The Mountain EP was born from the idea of doing a Pete Francis/Barefoot Truth tour together. We tracked two of my tunes, two BFT tunes, and one cover. Initially, we talked about covering "Blue Sky" by The Allman Brothers. We went with Dylan's "Quinn the Eskimo," which was fun, especially live. We recorded the EP at Lakewest Recording Studio in Rhode Island. Our old pal, Jack Gauthier, engineered the session. We would get some of our truest sounds at Lakewest. Jay Driscoll did amazing slide work on his Weissenborn guitar, especially on 'Go Ridin.'" – Pete Francis
