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.

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. NorthSouth - 2005PURCHASE NORTH SOUTH HERE 1. Blue Eyed Soul 2. Won't Be Long - co-written with Steve Carlson 3.

The band featured on the album is mostly members of "Union Pacific", Ted's band that played all over L.A. through 2004 and 2005: Eugene Edwards on guitar, Eric Heywood on pedal steel, Leroy Powell on guitar, Robin Wiley singing harmonies, and Mike Sessa on drums. The disc also features special guest appearances from many of the other musicians and band leaders Ted played with in L.A: Preston Smith, Jonny Kaplan, Rob Bonfiglio, Bart Ryan, Jimmy Khoury, Corey Gash, and Shooter Jennings.

Lullaby 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.
