End Time is an album by the American band Freakwater, released in 1999.[2][3] The band supported the album with a North American tour that included shows with Sally Timms.[4][5] Freakwater would not record again until 2005's Thinking of You...[6]
The album was produced by Brendan Burke.[7] End Time was the first Freakwater album to employ a drum kit, which was played by the Waco Brothers' Steve Goulding.[8][7] Eric Haywood, of Son Volt, played pedal steel.[9] A string section was used on some of the tracks.[10] All of the album's songs were written by Catherine Irwin and Janet Beveridge Bean, who allegedly conflicted in the studio.[11][12] The music of the Carter Family, Lefty Frizzell, and Johnny Cash was a significant influence on the album.[13][14] "When the Leaves Begin to Fall" is about the war in Bosnia.[15] "Good for Nothing" is about low self-esteem.[16]
