Disengage

Released May 7, 1996 on Salt Incorporated Music, Inc., this album was Jeff's first CD working with a vocalist and his first time recording with Jim Riley (Rascal Flatts).
Jeff produced, played guitar on, and composed most of the songs. "I have always written lots of songs with lyrics, but it is very hard to find the right singer for the job. So therefore I ended up doing lots of instrumental songs because I love those as well," commented Jeff. The collaboration with Sign Of The Times did not end well though, "The singer wigged out, stole two of my guitars and sold them at a pawn shop." After this experience it may come as little surprise that Scheetz's next album was a solo instrumental project released in 1997 entitled "Pawn Shop"! The cover amusingly depicted Jeff standing outside a Pawn Shop with a guitar displayed in its window..
The song Power of One got some good airplay on CCM radio and there were a few shows played in the Midwest. Some pretty shredding guitar dropped between commercial rock vocals and melodic tunes highlight this release. While the acoustic instrumental Sunrise was a nice departure, the roadhouse western-swing-shred of Texas toast still stands out as a raw powerful track!
