From Nowhere Revisited was originally started in 2002 after Satellite Inn had been on tour opening for and backing Robert Fisher's Willard Grant Conspiracy, They went into MJ Studios in Alphonsine Italy and started the album, the tunes were then sent to America and the bands label there went bust, the project was shelved until the tapes turned up again in 2024. The band then decided to complete the album using songs they hadn't recorded at the time, with Chris Peet producing those songs at Northouse Studios in Ebbw Vale in Wales. Satellite Inn are Stiv Canterelli, Dario Heri, Danile Henti, Fabrizio Gramellini, Antonio Perugini, Dave Curry, Edward Abbiati, Steven Honeywill and Roberto Villa.
The album opens with Faded By Time the first of the original tunes recorded by Robert Fisher, this is slowly strummed acoustic guitars and sad words for how time takes its toll on you over time, slow emotional harmonica and lap steel add to the feelings of heartache and loneliness for a repenting sinner.
Fall River is the first of the songs recorded at Northouse in Ebbw Vale in Wales in 2025 with Stiv's vocals sounding a bit more raspy, while trying to explain why it is such a burden to have come from Fall River, they sound a lot like the last line-up of Willard Grant Conspiracy I saw, with the great Eric Van Loos on bass, but of course this has Fabrizio Gramellini in that role.
Feeder is another early song and has a sparse feel to the clever and intense picked guitar notes and the claims that you are a Feeder, better not play this to anyone on Ozempic.
Cigarettes a slow country blues for the joy of selling some ciggies to a rather gorgeous woman who transfixes them, while we switch back to Wales last year, ah the old-fashioned skill of a woman who can seduce you just by how she smokes in front of you. He is trying so hard to become her man.
Come Back, Kid he has been led astray, slow fiddle playing wants to help him find his way back to a better way of living, this has a sad edge to the way they ask him to give in and allow them to help him.

Tacoma Girl is the kind girl they need to impress, they want to trail behind her, begging and pleading to be given a chance with her, they know she will chew them up and spit them out, but hell they just want to be given a chance to love her two times, like some Italian Stallion re-enacting the Lizard Kings finest moves, only with a country blues band.
Hey Mister, What's The Matter Now? A real question for the 2020's when it’s a question most of us fears the answer to, this is downbeat, hurt desolate blues, until the upbeat fun harmonica solo hits and lifts them up like they actually got a positive answer, allowing them to let loose on the banjo for once.
Traveller From These Times a man who needs his medication just to survive the darkness surrounding him, slow country blues trying to take his troubles away, but can anything make these times a happier place, he really would rather go back to the idyllic days of yore.
The album closes with one last song from the Robert Fisher sessions the sparse sad From Nowhere reflecting on how life has troubled you and you need to find a way to make sense of your feelings of being From Nowhere with no way to get anywhere meaningful.
