Americana singer/songwriter Jeff Finlin began his performing career as the drummer in the Thieves, which issued a pair of LPs on Capitol before disbanding. Several years later he signed to MCA as a solo act, recording an album which went unreleased; Finlin ultimately signed to producer Pete Anderson's Little Dog label, issuing his debut Highway Diaries in 1997. Two years later, Original Fin appeared on NBFNY.
