Foreign Legion (2002) The Whole Shebang (2005) Instant Nostalgia (2008)

Largely performed by Timbs himself (while still living in Los Angeles) and engineered by Murfreesboro producer Brian Carter, The Whole Shebang received typically warm critical acclaim and some of Timbs' strongest material in years. Tracks like "Fool Around," Lazy Bones," "Hung On Every Word" and "Selma Lou" showcased guitars rather than Timbs' trademark piano, while songs "Big Deal Out of Nothing" and "Make It Through" featured a more familiar Ounces sound.

Ken Coomer (formerly of Wilco) played drums on "Paperweight Machine," and Kelli Scott (formerly of Failure) played on "Destined to be Forgotten."
