Rumbleseat was the acoustic-folk side project of Hot Water Music frontmen Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard, and Samantha Jones.
Rumbleseat's only full length album, Rumbleseat is Dead, is a collection of songs from their four seven inch singles California Burritos, Picker, Saturn In Crosshairs, and Trestles as well as two songs from compilations, and four previously unreleased songs.
One of these delays was a result of the Hurricane Gaston flood of Richmond, Virginia, where numerous recordings were damaged.
When the album was finally released it received criticism from fans for not having the popular Walk Through the Darkness.
The album also features covers of Johnny Cash and June Carter's Jackson, Don Gibson's "Sea of Heartbreak", and Tex Ritter's Rye Whiskey.
