Night Owl is the newest TRK record and is set to be released in January 2013 in the U.S. and Europe. It is an album filled with story songs, soulful and honest acoustic tracks and moody full band arrangements. It is more of a late night relaxing listen than many of Ted's other records. Compiled from recording sessions in L.A., Nashville and Tulsa, it is cinematic and moody and has the heart of a singer-songwriter record. Special guests include Michael Webb (Bobby Keys, Gary Allan, Fugutive Glue), Brian Whelan (Dwight Yoakam, Gene Edwards), Chuck Blackwell (Leon Russell, Taj Mahal, Matt Mason), Jerry Roe (k.d. lang, Gretchen Wilson), John Schreffler (Shooter Jennings, Broken Bravado), Tommi Viksten (the Munsons). Ted wrote or co-wrote every song on this set. Some of the notable co-writers are Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), Will Hoge, Katy Moffatt, Eric Paslay, Dylan Altman and Jim McCormick.

Divisadero is one Ted's two brand new albums for 2006. Most of this record was written and recorded in hotel rooms, buses, studios, and living rooms while Ted toured the U.S. with Shooter Jennings through 2005. Named after the street that used to be the border between San Francisco and the 'country', this album features songs about divisions and change. It deals with the tensions and borderlines in life: between the insider and the outsider, the city and the country, the mature vs. the immature, being in love vs. yearning for love, what you want to be vs. who you are. Screwing up and trying to fix it. Dreaming and Dealing. The record features duets with special guests JESSI COLTER and SHOOTER JENNINGS. The band is mostly the same crew that's on NorthSouth: with the addition of Brian Whelan on guitar, harmony vocals, and Wurlitzer, Avi Sills on drums, Tony Paoletta on steel, Michael Webb on Hammond organ, and Gina Villalobos singing harmony.

11. Living Proof

Nashville Fine Line is one Ted's 2 brand new records for 2006. Most of these songs were written and recorded on the road while Ted's was out traveling and playing bass with Shooter Jennings - on tour buses, in hotel rooms, in random studios around the country, and at home in Ted's living room. Most of the songs were written with Nashville co-writers, so a lot of these might sound a little closer to 'mainstream country' than Ted's other records: a little more fun, a little more sentimental. It's all part of the experiment and challenge of Music Row and Nashville: walking the fine line of writing in ways that are accessible and commercial, but also have depth, and heart and soul. A lot of the co-writers are very well respected and have written numerous hits for many different artists. They have all walked the line Ted is walking here, and they've all become good friends. These songs were recorded in the same sessions, with the same players, as Divisadero.

Dedications was Ted's first record: an all instrumental jazz album. Ted recorded it at the ripe old age of 24 when he was playing jazz for a living (just as he was discovering roots music). This record is an homage to the American jazz and blues of the '50's and '60's. Inspired by Bill Evans, Gerry Mulligan, and 'Kind of Blue' era Miles Davis, this CD is comprised mostly of original compositions, but also has a few standards arranged by Ted. The band is comprised of many of the most respected younger professional jazz players in Seattle: Gary Fukushima on piano, Rob Davis on tenor sax, Mark Taylor on alto sax, Steve Korn and Mark Yeend on drums.
