Folk You: The Guido Sessions is an assemblage of material from various sources, including demo tracks and live songs. The music ranges farther afield than before, due in part to the departure of Dave Lawson and the arrival of new guitarist Steve Loree. Although a number of songs from this album have since been rerecorded for later albums, this tape is well worth having and hearing, especially for songs like Steve Loree's strong opener One Gun Town, the upbeat Dumb in the Summer, the old crowd pleaser What's Going On, and Dove's goofy contribution, Six Pack (no relation to the Black Flag song).
...and, on various tracks, Bernice Pelletier, Terry Cox, Ed Dobek, Dave Lawson, Ev Laroi, Tucker Flats Jug Huggers, Chris Read, and Chris Budnarchuk.
The "Guido" in question, featured on the cover, is Anthony Fulmes, an old friend of the band. He was given the nickname by Mike's father. (He also appears elsewhere on this site in the lyrics to one of the albums.)
