Junkyard Junky continues an intimate "behind-the-scenes" portrait of this master songwriter that began in 2001 with Blue Nite Lounge, the first offering in Penn's "demo series". The album features 14 songs written or co-written by Penn, many of which have never been recorded.

"It's hard to get a budget," Penn says, from his home in Nashville. "I saw that years ago when I made Blue Nite Lounge in a cabin in Louisiana. I like the sound of those recordings, although some of them were recorded on cassette tape. Fully recorded records with the kitchen sink still have their place and the truth is, I wouldn't mind doing another one; but until the right budget comes along, and the right interest, the demo series will be just fine. I hope people like the feel. I don't know how many records I"ll put in this series, but I hope at least one more, who knows."
